B.C. Access Grant for Students with Disabilities

This grant program helps full-time students with a permanent disability, or a persistent or prolonged disability with the cost of education. The grant replaces up to $1,560 ($30 per week of study) per program year in B.C. student loan funding, effectively converting loan amounts to non-repayable grant funding. Students who have previously submitted verification of their disability to StudentAid BC are assessed automatically for this grant. New applicants with qualifying disabilities must complete the Appendix 8 Disability Programs Application Form to verify their eligibility.
