Apply for student aid in Alberta
How do I apply for student aid in Alberta?
Apply through Alberta Student Aid using the route for your study load. Student-aid residency, approved studies and the program assessment determine the applicable funding.
Where to begin
- Check residency, program eligibility and whether your school considers your studies full-time or part-time.
- For full-time studies, verify your Alberta.ca Account, open Student Aid and complete the online application. For part-time studies, follow the linked form instructions.
- Complete the requested income verification and submit any additional documents.
- Check your account for the decision; if approved, complete the required agreements and school enrolment confirmation steps.
Before you open the official service
- School, program dates, SIN and Alberta Student Number.
- Previous-year income and other resources; family financial information where required.
Keep your actual documents and account details off this website. Use the official service’s current checklist before applying.
What to check for your situation
Full-time and part-time processes differ. Approval and funding depend on the program assessment. Use student-aid residency rules, not just the school’s location.
Fees, processing times and document rules can change. This page helps you navigate; it does not confirm eligibility or replace the government’s instructions.
