Full Time Students

Full-time programs at Ashton College may qualify for provincially and federally funded student loans and grants. A single application is usually enough to assess both sources of funding. The basic eligibility requirements for students are:
  • Be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or protected person
  • Have a valid Canadian social insurance number
  • Be a resident of the province to which you are applying for student aid
  • Be pursuing full-time studies as their primary occupation
  • Not be in default of previous student loans or restricted from receiving student financial assistance due to an audit or other reasons
  • Be able to demonstrate financial need based on a moderate standard of living as determined by federal criteria
  • Maintain full-time status as a student.
Some programs may have additional criteria, which you may find on the student financial aid office’s website.

All full-time Ashton College students who are residents of any province or territory except Quebec, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories may apply for any federal funding programs.[1]
