New Brunswick
For students living in New Brunswick, Student Financial Services is a regularly updated resource that covers loans, grants, and bursaries for New Brunswick students to help with post-secondary costs. This website provides information on funding for full-time and part-time students, how to repay and obtain student loans, and student financial assistance (e.g., breakdowns on financial options from the provincial government). In their information and forms section, you can find program highlights, funding information, and a Student Financial Assistance Handbook (for full-time students). Information for students with disabilities, education affected by extenuating circumstances, and program information can also be found on this website. Additionally, you can complete the Student Financial Success Online Survey, where high school seniors, post-secondary students, and parents, have a chance at receiving money. You will be informed whether you are eligible for grants or financial aid, as this depends on your financial need (e.g., students with lower household incomes).
The Student Financial Assistance Handbook [PDF] is an annually updated resource with information on available financial assistance, how assistance is calculated, how to receive funds from the government, maintaining your eligibility while in studies, how to repay your potential loans, and additional important information.
