Financial Aid for Canadian Students

Government student loans and grants are available to eligible Canadian students through the Canada Student Financial Assistance Program. These funds can help cover the cost of tuition, supplies, and living expenses during your studies at JCI.

When you apply for student aid, you’ll do so through your province or territory of residence using one application. Your provincial student aid office will assess your eligibility for loans (which must be repaid after graduation) and grants (which do not need to be repaid). The amount of aid you may receive depends on factors such as your income, tuition, living expenses, dependents, and disability status.

JCI is a designated institution recognized by the government for student loan funding. That means eligible students can access full- or part-time financial aid support for approved programs.

To explore your options and see how much you may qualify for, use the Canada Student Aid Estimator.
