Education costs

If you are a Nunavut resident in need of skills training or upgrading, the Adult Learning and Training Support (ALTS) program can help fund some of your expenses including tuition, books and materials, special equipment, disability support, childcare, and other expenses.

If you are a Nunavut resident pursuing a full-time aviation-related career, you may be eligible to receive up to $7,500 to help pay for your aviation education with the Aviation Scholarship: Simata Pitsiulak.

The Daycare Subsidy program provides financial support to low-income families to make childcare more affordable for parents pursuing education or training opportunities outside the home.

The Young Parents Stay Learning program provides financial support to young parents with the cost of childcare while the parent attends school.

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).
