Hi.
This is my situation. AFter two years of school at UBC i finally saw the light and realized that my arts degree in drama that i was going for would not be worth it, after all, after two years of university i could not get a job except as a dishwasher and even that i didnt last at it. I wound up on welfare/income support. Fortuneately i found out that i qualified for part time study grants in alberta which allow me to learn a marketable skill. I have since been diagnosed with having a disability but would like to one day maintain some gainful employment.
At any rate i just applied for my last 6 month term of interest relief and intend to apply for debt reduction. does anybody have any experience with this? The debt reduction application states that you cannot be a full time or part time student for 60 months....Since i have been a part time studnet for the past two years, thanks to the alberta works grants, will i not qualify?
and if i do have my loan reduced, will i no longer qualify for the grants?
Any insight is appreciated.
