Financial Aid

College Of Technology Alberta is an institution that focuses on helping you get the qualifications, licenses, and ongoing education you need for your career. We're committed to making high-quality education accessible to everyone, and we offer various options like student loans, grants, and other financial support to help you pay for your education.

You can get government loans and grants for full-time, part-time, and online programs that meet their requirements. Additionally, private banks offer financial services designed to assist students in financing their education.

Provincial and Federal Funding


Student Aids - Grants

If you're a full-time student at our College, you can apply for student aids and grants from both the provincial and federal government. You only need to fill out one application, and it will determine your eligibility for both types of financial aid. For the latest updates and details about Canada Student Loans, please check out this website:


Canada-Alberta Job Grant

The Canada-Alberta Job Grant (CAJG) is a special program in which an employer applies your application on your behalf of their present as well as future employees for eligible training costs.

The Canada-Alberta Job Grant covers up to two-thirds of training costs—up to $10,000 per employee and $300,000 per organization. Employers choose eligible training and receive reimbursement in two stages. To learn more, visit: https://www.alberta.ca/canada-alberta-job-grant.aspx

Private Sources of Funding

If you find that the student loans and government grants don't quite cover all your education expenses, don't worry. There are additional private funding options available that many Canadian college students turn to. These options are well-established, dependable, and commonly used.

One popular choice is the student lines of credit offered by major Canadian banks. You can find the latest information and links to these options on each bank's website.
