Vancouver Island University, my own university, has over 1,000 grad students, and I think we get four master's scholarships. It's always a very interesting conversation about who gets funded and who doesn't, and there's more of a burden on the university to make sure they're finding funding for those students.
To the question, I think if we can help those students stay within their region, that helps their families with affordability. The mandate of a lot of these smaller institutions is to serve their regions.
Of that funding, 90% comes through grants, but there is an opportunity here to keep merit in mind. There are a number of these programs, like CRCs, grad scholarships and the RSF. These are allocation decisions that are based on funding. There is an opportunity to tweak this: Keep merit in mind, but look at the allocations and ways to better support universities.
