Newfoundland and Labrador
Student AidNL is a provincially and federally funded financial resource for students living in Newfoundland and Labrador to help pursue higher education. It provides students with online contact information for Student AidNL, National Student Loans Centre information, and FAQs related to forms, documentation, and financial aid. The FAQs webpage provides information on financial applications, eligibility to gain a grant or loan, and how to receive your funds and repayment. 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 website can help you determine if you qualify for any more provincial loans and grants, like the Newfoundland and Labrador Debt Reduction Grant Program and the Tuition Relief Grant Program.
