Canada Student Grant for Services and Equipment – Students with Disabilities
This program helps full-time or part-time students with a permanent disability, or a persistent or prolonged disability pay for exceptional education related costs for services and equipment. The grant covers services and equipment such as notetakers, tutors, interpreters, and technical aids that support students with disabilities in their post-secondary studies. To be eligible, students must qualify for a federal student loan, be enrolled in full-time or part-time studies at a designated post-secondary institution, have a permanent disability or persistent/prolonged disability as defined by the Canada Student Financial Assistance Program, and have exceptional education related costs for services or equipment due to their disability. Students apply by contacting the accessibility services office at their school, who will help determine which services and/or equipment will assist in their post-secondary studies. If the disability has not yet been verified by StudentAid BC, students must complete the Appendix 8 – Disability Programs Application form.
Organisation Grants
Variety's Organisation Grants provide equipment funding to youth clubs and other organizations supporting disadvantaged young people through informal education, positive activity, and skills development. The program supports youth clubs affiliated with national youth organizations to acquire essential equipment that enables young people to play, learn, have fun, develop a sense of community and participation, foster peer relationships and understand the world around them. Equipment grants cover items costing more than £1,000 including sports and gym equipment, computers and IT equipment, photography and film equipment, consoles and games, arts and crafts materials, and musical instruments and recording equipment. Note: The program is currently not accepting new applications due to increasing demand for individual grants for wheelchairs and special equipment for children.
