Student Aid
Government loans and grants can be a great option for students who need additional assistance covering tuition and living costs while attending post-secondary. If you're in an Apprenticeship, Degree, Diploma, Certificate or Open Studies program, you may be eligible for financial aid options.
To be eligible for student aid, you must be a Canadian citizen, have permanent resident status or protected person status under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
NAIT’s definition of a full-time student may not be the same as your loan provider. Please check your Loan provider’s website for their definition.
