Loans and Bursaries Program
The Loans and Bursaries Program is meant for full-time students or students deemed full-time in occupational training, college or university programs. In all cases, enrolment must be in an educational institution that is recognized by the Minister of Education, Recreation and Sports.
The purpose of the program is to enable individuals with insufficient financial resources to pursue their studies by providing financial assistance. Students do, however, retain primary responsibility for the cost of their education.
The earlier, the better!
In order to be sure to receive your financial assistance at the beginning of the academic year, apply in May and submit all required documents as soon as possible. This will speed up processing of your file.
Your financial assistance assessment cannot be made until we receive all documents.
If you do not agree with a decision rendered by Aide financière aux études despite that it complies with the rules in effect, you may request a review.
Accessing and correcting information
The Act respecting access to documents held by public bodies and the Protection of personal information gives you the right to access and correct your personal information kept by the Ministère.
