For students living in Alberta, Alberta Student Aid is a regularly updated resource with a specific timeline for loan and grant deadlines. The site requires you to make an account, and you can apply for both loans and grants through this portal. You can subscribe to Alberta Student Aid emails through their website to stay updated on timelines and receive provincial financial aid resources. You will be informed whether you are eligible for grants or financial aid, as this depends on your financial need (i.e., students with lower household incomes).

The Alberta Student Aid “Guides and Resources” page covers how to confirm your registration, repay your loans, and find funding for students with disabilities. Under “Scholarships and Awards,” they cover provincially recognized athletic awards, the Alberta Graduate Excellence Scholarship, Indigenous Awards, and more. They also have sections on student aid program information and student loan webinars to clarify loan and repayment information.

These resources are also helpful:

Information on post-secondary programs in Alberta is available online via Alberta Alis.
