What's New

Education is more affordable for part-time students

Beginning January 1, 2012 new and existing loans for part-time students will no longer be charged interest while borrowers are in-study. Once this change takes effect, interest will only begin to accumulate on the loan upon graduation, or after leaving school. For more information visit the Canlearn website.

The 2011/2012 StudentAid BC online and paper application for full-time studies and the paper application for part-time studies are now available.

Changes to student loans for BC Students

No more managing two student loans

Managing student loans is about to get easier for borrowers from British Columbia (BC). The governments of Canada and BC are integrating their full time student financial assistance programs - Canada Student Loans and StudentAid BC - to simplify the borrowers' experience. There's no change to the administration of Canada Student Loans and Grants for part-time students.
