EDMONTON- Some Alberta students are facing uncertainty after changes to the application process for Government of Alberta scholarships and awards.

Applications are normally submitted in early August, but the 2019-20 applications are not being made available until late in the fall.

The Alberta Student Aid website says a major technology upgrade will streamline the application and payment process for scholarships and awards and is expected to be complete in late fall.

A spokesperson with the Ministry of Advanced Educations says the government recognizes that students and families are eager to apply, and it will provide an update soon.
