Apply for student aid in British Columbia
How do I apply for student aid in British Columbia?
Apply through StudentAid BC using the route for your study load. Student-aid residency, approved studies and the program assessment determine the applicable funding.
Where to begin
- Check eligibility, school designation and your study period.
- Create a StudentAid BC Student Account using your BC Services Card account and complete SIN verification.
- Select full-time or part-time studies and the program year; complete the application, declaration and income-verification consent, then submit.
- Track requests in your account, arrange parent or partner information if requested, and review and accept the Notice of Assessment.
Before you open the official service
- BC Services Card account and SIN.
- School, program, personal and financial information.
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
New applications use the Student Account. Eligibility and enrolment confirmation still determine access to funding. 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.
