Northwest Territories
For students living in the Northwest Territories, the Student Financial Assistance program helps students pursuing post-secondary education to cover their expenses. Primary funding through grants, loans, and course reimbursement is available. Deadlines for submitting to the program are posted on their website, along with eligibility requirements and instructions on applying. On the Education, Culture and Employment site, you can find the Student Financial Assistance Handbook [PDF], the Student Financial Assistance Policy Manual [PDF], and all necessary forms and applications for government financial aid.
