Canada Student Grants: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access non-repayable money for tuition and living expenses through the Canada Student Grants program.
Canada Student Grants provide financial support to students attending post-secondary programs to help cover the costs of their education.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for students from low-to-middle income families who are enrolled in post-secondary programs.
What you get
You receive non-repayable money. This means you do not have to pay this money back. The funds are intended to help you pay for tuition fees and your general living expenses while you study.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee to apply for this support. However, you must go through the process of submitting an application through your provincial student aid portal.
The catch to know
Grants are often tied to loan applications. In many cases, you cannot access the grant without also applying for student loans.
How to apply
- Determine which provincial or territorial student aid program applies to your location.
- Complete an application for student loans through your provincial portal.
- Review the requirements to ensure you are assessed for grants during the process.
