How students pay for this

Students here pay with a mix of Alberta Student Aid, band funding, employer sponsorship and payment plans arranged with the college. Which of these you can use depends on your program and your situation, so ask an advisor before you count on any of them.

Alberta Student Aid

You apply directly to Alberta Student Aid, not to the college. One application assesses you for both Alberta and Canada student loans and grants. Eligibility depends on your income, your family situation and your program. The college has no say in the decision.

One thing to know. Alberta applies an annual cap on the number of private career college students who can receive provincial funding, and it can be reached. Federal funding may still be available if it is. Ask an advisor where the current year stands before you plan around it.

This describes the programme as researched, not as advice. Confirm the current year's rules with Alberta Student Aid directly.
