B.C. Access Grant for Students with a Permanent Disability
This grant is for students who are starting school between Aug. 1, 2010 and July 31, 2011. If you are a full-time student with a permanent disability, you may be eligible for a non-repayable grant to replace approximately $1,000 in B.C. student loan funding.
Once you have applied and are eligible to receive full-time StudentAid BC funding you automatically qualify for the B.C. Access Grant if you have previously submitted verification of your permanent disability to StudentAid BC.
If you are a first-time student with a permanent disability you do not qualify automatically. You must have a medical professional with expertise in your area of disability complete a Permanent Disability Programs Application form that identifies your daily education barriers and submit the documentation to StudentAid BC for assessment.
Please contact StudentAid BC for more information.
