Open ProvincesStudent loans and grants in Saskatchewan: where to apply
Where to apply for student loans and grants in Saskatchewan, how federal and provincial aid fit together and what to know before you apply, from the official pages.
Where to apply
Apply online through the Advanced Education Student Portal (paper forms exist; online applications are processed much faster than the typical four weeks for paper). For 2026-27 full-time students may get up to $13,900 in loans and $5,200 in grants combining federal and provincial aid. Eligibility includes Grade 12 graduation in Saskatchewan within 10 years and enrolment at a Saskatchewan institution, with a 12-month residency rule. You can decline the loans and take only grants. 1-800-597-8278.
Apply through the student aid office of your province or territory of permanent residence (not where the school is), and to one province only. The federal government covers up to 60% of assessed need and the province or territory the rest; until the end of 2026-27 the Canada Student Grant for full-time students is up to $4,200 a year (up to $525 a month) and the federal loan limit is $300 per week of study. You must re-apply every school year, ideally at least two months before classes. Quebec, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut run their own programs without Canada Student Loans. Rules, fees and programs change and were read on 2026-11-14: confirm with the official source. General information, not legal advice. Quebec follows its own rules: see atlasquebec.ca.
