Description
The Canada Student Grant for Full-Time Students with Dependants is federal education assistance administered through Alberta Student Aid. It supports full-time post-secondary students who are financially responsible for eligible dependants, including young children, children with permanent disabilities, and wholly dependent family members. It helps cover educational costs rather than funding a research project or a particular scientific field.
The grant is available for eligible studies leading to a degree, certificate, or diploma, including studies beyond the undergraduate level. Alberta Student Aid assesses applicants using federal and provincial policies through a single student aid application. The amount depends on family income, family size, and eligible dependants. Grants generally do not require repayment, but changes in living circumstances or studies can make funding repayable.
