The findings show that the resident students considered in the study appeared to value the bursary. However, none of the key metrics related to participation in or conversion to the home institution indicated that the bursary impacted enrolment or participation. This research highlights the importance of utilizing financial aid in combination with other policies to help students access higher education.  \nRésumé  \nCette étude examine le programme boursier George-Coles, un programmed’aide financière conçu pour « garder les étudiants chez eux » afin qu’ilspuissent fréquenter l’université de leur région.

L’étude révèle que les étudiants locaux semblaient apprécier la bourse, mais aucun des paramètres clés liés à la participation ou à la conversion à l’établissement d’origine n’indique que la bourse a eu un effet sur le taux d’inscription universitaire des régions.  \nCette étude met en évidence l’importance d’utiliser l’aide financière, en combinaison avec d’autres politiques, dans le but d’aider les étudiants à accéder à l’enseignement supérieur.  \nIntroduction  \nGovernments have a vested interest in increasing accessibility to higher education in order to improve social and economic outcomes in society.“In most countries, especially developed ones, higher education generates a significant part of a country’s stock of skilled labor”(Viaene & Zilcha, 2013, p. 78) . For many governments, higher education is a key economic development tool that can assist in growing skills and innovation in a jurisdiction. It has been said that higher education confers numerous benefits both to the individual and to society, including higher earnings, lower rates of unemployment and government dependency, an increased tax base, and greater civic engagement (Marope, Wells, & Hazelkorn, 2013) . As higher education is a public good, governments also have an interest in managing funding to higher education institutions to ensure affordability and accessibility for its citizens.  \nThe aim of this paper is to explore the impact of a government-sponsored bursary program in a provincial jurisdiction, Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada. This paper explores the perception of the George Coles bursary program (“the bursary”) by resident students attending the home university institution and examines the impacts on participation and conversion following the implementation of the bursary at that institution. PEI has only one university—the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI)—and, as such, it provides an interesting case study on university access.
