B.C. Assistance Program for Students with Disabilities

This program helps students with disabilities pay for exceptional education-related services and adaptive equipment. Grants of up to $10,000 (or $12,000 if an attendant is required at school) are available to students attending public and private post-secondary schools in British Columbia. This grant is designed to cover costs that exceed what is provided through federal disability assistance programs, specifically requiring students to have first exhausted funding from the Canada Student Grant for Services and Equipment – Students with Disabilities (CSG-DSE). The program supports students with permanent disabilities or persistent/prolonged disabilities who are enrolled at designated institutions in B.C.
