Financial Support and Resources for Students and Recent Graduates during Covid-19
Financial Support and Resources for Students and Recent Graduates during Covid-19

We've recently seen an increase in questions about financial resources available to students during the Covid-19 pandemic and the upcoming fall term. We've compiled a list of some of the federal and provincial resources to help answer some of your questions, but we still strongly advise you to check with your schools since their Student Financial Services and Awards office may have some institution specific options available. Please keep in mind that some of these hyperlinks may change over time, so if you get an error when you click on it, please do a Google search for the title and it should take you to the updated page.
