Low-Income Grants are available to Canadian students that come from low-income families. Canadian students must meet two requirements; apply for a Canada Student Loan and be enrolled in a program for a minimum of two years. The National Student Loans Service Centre determines if a student qualifies for a low-income loan when they apply for the Canadian Student Loans Program.
Canadian students may receive $250 per month for up to $3,000 per school year. Canadian students must reapply for a low-income grant each school year for renewal.
