- Matters Arising. Our contribution for the proposed $500 increase in YUFA scholarships would be $75,000 as the total is $150,000 rather than the $160,000 mentioned in the minutes. The trustees had approved this amount and it would be ratified at the Trust AGM on October 16. The YUFA Trust had also asked us to look into graduate bursaries.

- Adequacy of bursary funding for graduate and part-time students. We are waiting to hear from Student Services on part-time and we will pursue investigation with Student Services of graduate bursary funding. We currently support one graduate scholarship.
