# # # Study with Government Financial Support
After becoming eligible under the applicable federal and provincial rules—commonly after obtaining Canadian permanent resident status—you may be able to apply for:
🎓 Government student loans
🎓 Non-repayable student grants
🎓 Scholarships and bursaries
🎓 Funding that may assist with tuition fees, educational costs and eligible living expenses
Student loans are generally repaid after completing your studies. Repayment assistance may also be available when a graduate’s income is too low to make the normal payments.
Government funding is based on eligibility and assessed financial need. It should not be understood as an automatic payment of every student’s full tuition fees and living expenses.
