Yukon
For students living in the Yukon, the provincial government’s financial support for students page, provides extensive details on how grants and loans work, and how to apply for each type of funding. From the Student Financial Assistance application portal, you can apply for the Yukon Grant, and the Canada Student Financial Assistance program/grant as either a full-time or part-time student. You can also apply for the Student Training Allowance and find funding for program-specific studies.
