Loans

The province is putting in $3.4 million for access to post-secondary education.

Changes to the provincial part of the Canada Student Loans Program will mean many students being eligible for more financial assistance.

As of August 1st students will only be expected to provide a fixed contribution between 15-hundred and three thousand dollars per academic year, based on their family income and size.
