Bursaries, Financial Aid and Scholarships
Government Loans and Bursaries
The Quebec Government Student Loans and Bursaries Program, Aide financière aux études or AFE, gives interest-free loans based on need, not academic performance, for the duration of full-time studies. It also gives gifts of money, called bursaries. To qualify, a student must have already been awarded the maximum loan.
Apply as early as the end of May or a minimum of four to six weeks before the start of the fall semester. The AFE’s assistance assessment simulator gives an approximate idea of how much of a loan you can expect.
Tuition Credits and Book Credits
To offset the cost of tuition and textbooks, the College provides tuition credits and book credits to students who have received assistance from the Quebec Government Student Loans and Bursaries Program, Aide financière aux études or AFE.
The amounts awarded to you will be based on the availability of funds, your parents’ income, your program of study, and your particular situation. The amounts are renewable in future semesters, as long as you maintain your eligibility for AFE.
