Funding options vary depending on the program — some are eligible for government student loans, while others may be supported by 51 bursaries or external resources. Explore the options below to find what works for you.
Government Student Loan Funding
For School of Continuing Education Programs that are eligible for government funding, a student loan may be a smart option if your program will boost your earning power.
- Government student loans supplement your own resources (work, savings, or family support).
- First-time applicants must register with and complete verification before applying.
- Approved applicants may also be assessed for federal or provincial student grants (non-repayable).
- Because loans are released on a set schedule, you may need a fee deferral to register for your program — contact Financial Aid & Awards for help.
