Funding for college in Canada

College funding usually combines several sources rather than one single program.

Student aid first

Apply through your provincial student aid office for grants and loans; one application is normally assessed for both.

Institutional awards

Colleges administer bursaries and entrance awards with separate deadlines. Ask the financial aid office directly.

Employment programs

If you are unemployed or recently laid off, a provincial employment program may cover approved short programs instead.
