Federal help
The Canada Student Grant for full-time students gives up to $4,200 a year (up to $525 per month of study) until the end of the 2026 to 2027 school year, and you are assessed automatically when you apply for provincial aid. It is not available to students from Quebec, the Northwest Territories or Nunavut, which have their own programs. Canada.ca ↗
