Education costs

If you are a high-performance athlete from the Northwest Territories, you may be eligible to receive at least $5000 to assist with the costs associated with training and competing in your chosen sport through the High Performance Athlete Grant program.

This program contributes funding to a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP).

If you are 18 to 20 years old and you have not yet gotten the Canada Learning Bond (for example if your parents did not apply for you), you may be able to get up to $2,000 to help pay for the costs of your studies after high school. You do not have to spend this money right away.

This grant helps students with disabilities pay for each year of school.

The Canada Student Financial Assistance Program offers student grants and loans to full-time and part-time students. Grants and loans help students pay for your post-secondary education.

The repayment assistance plan can help you repay your student loan if you are having financial difficulty and cannot make your payments.

If you have a disability and are having difficulty paying your student loan, you may be eligible for the Repayment Assistance Plan for Borrowers with Disabilities (RAP-D).
