Sources of Funds for Post-Secondary Education

The following are common sources of funds used by students and their families for post-secondary education: 1. Personal savings (from summer jobs) 2. Help from family (RESPs & other support) 3. Government loans & grants 4. Private loans (lines of credit from banks, etc.) 5. Working during the school year Here are some tips on finding more sources of free money to decrease/eliminate potential post-secondary debt: 1) Visit college and university Financial Aid websites. All post-secondary institutions have Financial Aid webpages which list ever-changing possible sources of funding for prospective and current students-from government loans to entrance awards, bursaries and other scholarships offered uniquely to students attending that school. 2) Familiarize yourself with government student loan and grant programs. Start at: www.canlearn.ca. Each province’s loan program details are listed here. The Ontario Student Assistance Program can be found at www.osap.gov.on.ca. Application deadlines are important to note. 3) Register at www.ScholarshipsCanada.com which has a matching system to help narrow down awards best suited to your unique profile. There’s also a search tool located at the top right corner for registered members when they log in. Over $177 million dollars in awards are available every school year! 4) If you are considering college visit www.ontariocolleges.ca/colleges/paying-for-college 5) If you have a disability visit www.disabilityawards.ca 6) Ask employers—your parents’ and/or your own. They may have a scholarship for employees and their children or a tuition reimbursement program. 7) Use www.HigherEdPoints.com. We allow you to convert anyone’s loyalty points into funds for tuition and for loan repayments at over 80 Participating Institutions in Canada! Aeroplan and TD Bank points can turn into cash! 8) When on campus stop in each year at the Financial Aid office (when touring, but especially once enrolled). Visit regularly to ask about any new or open awards. 9) Ask about Work Study programs on your campus—usually run by the Financial Aid department. 10) Make the Campus Career Center another regular stop on your rounds. A job will earn you some cash, but it may also help you land a job once you graduate. Searching for funds for higher education pays off…search now, search often!
