Student Aid Alberta

Student Aid is a government service that provides student loans, grants, scholarships, and awards to help you pay for your post-secondary education. Student aid may not cover all of your costs, so youll need to plan to make up the difference.

You only have to submit one application to be considered for loans and grants from both Albertas government and Canadas government. Most students get money from both, which means you may get two smaller loans instead of one big one.

Student aid is calculated differently for full-time and part-time students. Also, the process of applying for student aid is different.

Your school determines whether youre full-time or part-time based on your course load, not Student Aid. At many schools, its possible to take fewer than the maximum amount of courses and still be considered a full-time student.
