Funding Options
Government Funding
In Canada, the federal and provincial governments work together to provide qualifying individuals with funding options for post-secondary education, including interest-free student loans and non-repayable grants.
To apply for funding, students must apply to their provincial/territorial student aid office. Students only need to submit one application to receive funding from both the federal government and their provincial/territorial government.
