Funding Your Education

For most students, attending college provides new opportunities but also brings new expenses including tuition, books, and day-to-day living costs. Our goal is to make sure these expenses do not become a barrier to your education and will work with you to find the right funding option for you.

Plan Ahead
Many potential sources of financial support require application processes that take six to eight weeks from the time you first apply until you actually have money in the bank. These processes often require that you provide detailed information about school, living expenses, sources of income support and personal resources.

Consider Funding Sources
While it is not always possible, it is preferable to find ways of funding your education without accumulating debt. It is critical to explore all funding possibilities including:

• Personal Resources
• Contributions of Friends and Family
• Employer Plans
• Chartered Bank Loans
• Student Loans
• Government Grants
• Scholarships and Bursaries
