Before Your Studies

Know your costs, fund your studies and make a plan!

During Your Studies

Student supports available, financial aid options, & resources.

After Your Studies

Job searching, budgeting, repaying loans, and more.
Funding support for students

Indigenous students

A wide range of awards, scholarships, bursaries, and financial aid are available specifically for Indigenous students.

International students

Once international students arrive, there may be funding options in addition to your savings including part-time work, select bursaries and grants, and academic awards.

Former Children or Youth in Care

If you have formerly spent time as a child or youth in care, you may qualify for financial support to cover some of your educational costs.
