Vancouver Financial Aid: Canadian Students

Canada Student Loans and Grants

The Canada Student Loans Program enables students with a demonstrated financial need to attend a post-secondary institution by providing them with loans to cover the costs of going to school. In doing so, the Government of Canada attempts to ensure Canadians have the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills needed to participate in the economy and society.

British Columbia Students

Fairleigh Dickinson University’s Vancouver Campus is a designated post-secondary institution for StudentAid BC. StudentAid BC helps eligible students with the cost of their post-secondary education through loans, grants, bursaries, scholarships, and special programs. It also has programs for borrowers who need help repaying their loans.

Most StudentAid BC programs are based on need, providing financial assistance where students and their immediate families do not have the resources to meet the costs of post-secondary education and basic living expenses. StudentAid BC also offers scholarships based on merit.

StudentAid BC administers programs on behalf of the Government of Canada including Canada student loans, Canada study grants, Canada access grants, and the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation bursary.
