ACCESS and DISABILITY RESOURCES

FUNDING

University costs add up quickly, but scholarships, grants and bursaries can help cover your expenses. If you have a disability or medical condition, some financial resources are available to help meet your specific needs.

Student aid and disability grants

To help cover the cost of your education, you can apply for loans and grants through your home province’s student aid program. MacEwan’s Student Loans and Grants page has more details.
