An Important Message About Government Loans & Bursaries
Hello Class of 2020!
The Quebec Government Loans and Bursaries Program for 2020-21 is now open. Students who are pursuing post-secondary studies can apply on-line for financial assistance at:
http://www.afe.gouv.qc.ca/en/news/all-news/detail/you-can-fill-out-your-2020-2021-application-for-student-financial-assistance-online-as-of-today/
Although there is much uncertainty ahead, you are encouraged to apply for financial assistance as if you were attending classes "in person" in the fall, understanding of course, that your application and any financial support can be modified by the government based on future realities.
I recommend that you begin by reviewing the eligibility criteria at:
https://www.quebec.ca/en/education/student-financial-assistance/loans-bursaries-full-time-studies/eligibility-requirements/
Then, move on to the Assessment Simulator, where you can get an "unofficial" estimate of your government financial support.
https://www.quebec.ca/en/education/student-financial-assistance/loans-bursaries-full-time-studies/assessment/assessment-simulator/
Finally, a downloadable application guide is available at:
