British Columbia

Student Aid BC is a regularly updated resource for students living in British Columbia, with a specific timeline for loan and grant deadlines. The site requires you to make an account, and you can apply for loans and grants through this portal. 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).

Student Aid BC provides information for planning for your future, which is a great first step to explore employment opportunities, plan your education, and manage your potential debt. The website has information on obtaining, paying for, and managing your loans and grants. Under Explore Funding Options, you can find options for full-time and part-time student funding, as well as a comprehensive list of grants, scholarships, and other relevant financial supports available for students.

These resources are also helpful:

Information on the provincial support for successfully transitioning to post-secondary education is available online through the Student Transitions Project.
