Financial Assistance

Financial Assistance is available to those who qualify. Assistance to help pay for your postsecondary is based on many factors including your (and your family’s) financial resources.

Things to remember:

• It is intended to supplement—not fully cover—the cost of your schooling. You (and your family, if applicable) are expected to contribute to your educational and living expenses.
• You will receive your funds in two installments—60% for the fall semester and 40% for the winter semester.
• If your student financial assistance does not arrive before the first day of classes, you will need to arrange for interim funding from another source (e.g., from family, an RESP, a bank line of credit, your savings, etc.) or connect with the finance office to set up a Deferred Payment Plan.
• You are required to successfully complete the academic and attendance requirements of your program to remain eligible for assistance.
• You’ll need to inform your Financial Aid Officer of any changes to your academic or financial situation while you’re receiving a student loan.
• The National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC) is where you manage your student loan.

Canada Student Financial Assistance

Students who are planning to apply for student financial assistance are encouraged to submit their application when they become available each year (usually in June) to ensure that the loan is available when the student starts the semester. Additional inquiries regarding student loans/grants should be directed to our Financial Aid Office or to provincial Student Financial Aid Offices. Students from Quebec who are not eligible to receive government-issued student loans when they attend a private institution such as MCS are encouraged to check with the Dean of Educational Services to discuss funding possibilities while they are students at MCS.

For information on federal student loans and grant programs, visit Human Resources Development on the Government of Canada website.

First Nations Assistance

Qualifying First Nations students may be eligible for financial assistance from their band council since Master’s is recognized by the First Nations as a degree-granting institution. Additional information is available at the Financial Aid Office.

Also, Indspire disburses bursaries and scholarships through its Building Brighter Futures program to Indigenous students who are enrolled in post-secondary programs. Since 1985, Indspire has disbursed bursaries and scholarships to First Nation, Inuit, and Métis post-secondary students. It is the largest funder for Indigenous education outside of the federal government. Check the Building Brighter Futures program found here to see if you qualify for funding as an Indigenous Student.
