Student Loan and other Funding

Student Loan

Canada and your provincial governments offer student loans to cover the costs of going to university or college. There is one application for both the Canada and provincial/territorial student loans. Applying online is this is the quickest way to apply.  Below is a list of the websites for Canadian Provincial Student Aid Offices.  (BEING UPDATED)

Students with disabilities may be eligible for other funding.  

These grants (formerly Special Opportunity Grants) provide funding for special equipment, tutors, interpreters, attendants, or technology. Unlike student loans, these grants do not have to be paid back. Your counsellor will refer you to the Disability Resource Facilitator who will provide more information about these grants.
