Student Aid

Manitoba Student Aid administers several programs to assist Aboriginal and northern students with the cost of post-secondary education. You may be eligible for loans, grants and bursaries, even if you have other sources of funding. Loans will need to be paid back while bursaries and scholarships do not need to be paid back.

In the long run, the lower the amount of your student loan the better. So make sure you take advantage of all other sources of funding before considering student loans.

If you have moving costs to relocate from a northern community, you can request assistance to cover those costs.

Full-time students:

• Prince of Wales/Princess Anne Awards
• Canada Student Loan (CSL)
• Manitoba Student Loan (MSL)
• You may be eligible for Aboriginal, disability or low-income bursaries

Part-time students:

• part-time students may also be eligible for loans and bursaries

For information on other funding sources please visit our office or contact Rick Lavallee at 945-6339.
