No but there are several options for grants, bursaries, and scholarships through the gov't.

What I meant by "full-ride" is that she was offered admittance with no formal application and a scholarship directly from the Universities. iirc, SFU was one, University of Saskatchewan, and 2 back east were the others.

Funny you mention "research assistant"...that is how it all started. She offered to be one for a proff...in her spare time she worked on a project she created about facial recognition for 2nd generation Canadians in relation to crimes. She submitted it to the CPA convention and was chosen as the only BA student to speak about it. Then she one "best paper" of the convention...kind of all blew up from there.
