Today the UCP announced $2.1 million in grants for the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, Red Deer College and Olds College through the province’s Research Capacity Grant – a cost-shared funding program that has already existed for decades.

This is not new money. This grant is less than 1% of the cuts already made to Alberta’s PSE institutions over 2019 and 2020. This grant will not replace the over 3,500 PSE jobs lost this year alone.
Alberta’s post-secondary institutions are key to the economic recovery of Alberta, and the UCP are making our institutions fend for themselves. This diminishes the ability of these institutions to support staff and students in their capacity to drive innovation and prosperity.”
