Only full-time students are eligible for financial assistance. The student loan assistance plan was authorized by the Government of Canada in 1964 and provides loans through the chartered banks to Canadian students studying towards a university degree. Loans are interest free until such time as individuals are no longer registered in 60 percent of a normal course load. Payments are negotiated with appropriate bank officials based on guidelines set down by the Federal Government. Provincial Loans and Bursaries may also be available for those students who are considered eligible by the provincial representatives.
Maximum benefits vary from province to province.
Applications for federal loans and provincial loans and bursaries should be made directly to the designated department in the Provincial Legislature. Students from other provinces must apply to the Student Aid Division in their respective provinces. The student employment program at Atlantic Baptist University is a way we commit to helping students finance their education. Approximately 50 opportunities are available on campus for students to earn extra money needed to pay their account or for spending money. Positions are available in food services, the library, the bookstore, janitorial, security, residence, computer lab and student development.
