We can help you create a payment plan that works for your needs. You can pay your tuition using a certified cheque, Visa, or cash. You may also be able to get a loan from a student’s financial institution,  other financial institutions, or a provincial student assistance program if you qualify.

Sponsorship from your employer or other outside agencies might also help pay for your schooling. If you want to apply for a sponsorship, you must contact the appropriate agency for authorization. Each group has its own application process.

Our staff can give you more details to help you plan how to pay for your education. Planning ahead helps you learn without extra stress. It also helps you avoid problems with paying back loans later.
