Before You Apply - Explore Financial Options

Paying for your education is your responsibility - it is a big investment. Choosing how to finance your education means making informed decisions. Assess your costs - include tuition, books and the cost of living while at school. Remember to consider savings set aside for your studies, money you might earn from working while in school and any financial support from your family.

• Estimate the cost of your post-secondary education with CanLearn's Interactive on-line tools.
• Review scholarships sponsored by Student Financial Assistance Branch to help pay for your education.
• Search SaskNetWork's scholarship database for sources of non-repayable funding.

If you have exhausted all sources of non-repayable financing and you still require help paying for your education, your next step is to look at repayable funding. You may wish to consider government sponsored student loans. Remember, these loans are repayable so borrow wisely - the less you borrow the less you will have to pay back.

As well, in Saskatchewan there are a number of income supplement programs available for low-income families with children.
