Student Loans

If you’re a full-time or part-time domestic* student pursuing a career certificate or diploma, you may qualify for government loans and grants to help fund your education.

Visit studentaid.alberta.ca for more information and to apply.

*Domestic students are Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or protected persons.

If government funding is not right for you, there are other options that might fit:

‍

Third-Party Sponsorship

Third-party sponsorship is financial help from sources like parents, employers, bands, associations, churches, and other groups. This sponsorship helps cover education costs, such as tuition or textbooks, through an agreement with a sponsor. The student provides proof of sponsorship, and the sponsor directly pays the institution or reimburses the student based on the agreed terms. Specific requirements may vary, so it’s important to check with the sponsor for details.
