Scholarships.
Post-secondary education can be expensive. Although actual tuition fees are quite low in the public CEGEPs and in Vocational Education, expenses for books and program-specific tools or supplies can be costly.
The Quebec student loans & bursary program can help many students offset these costs throughout their post-secondary time of study. The application for financial assistance can be found online at www.afe.qouv.qc.ca Students are encouraged to complete the assessment simulator before making an application to get an idea of what kind of assistance they can expect to receive. For information on Federal financial aid and scholarship program please click here.
Students are also encouraged to seek out information and assistance from the personnel in the Financial Aid offices of the various post-secondary institutions. Colleges may also offer entrance scholarships to incoming students with exceptional academic averages. Scholarship databases allow students to search through available awards that meet needs of their particular situation. Here are a few suggested sources for Post-Secondary Scholarships.
Remember that Colleges and Universities have their own Financial Aid Departments that can help you find where and how to apply. Be sure to visit them early if you plan to use Financial Aid! Financial institutions (i.e.: banks), community associations (i.e.: cultural and national organisations) and private organisations (i.e.: companies where your parents work) also offer considerable financial aid options. Ask around!
