School loans, bursaries and debts: a survival guide

School loans, bursaries and debts: a survival guide

You've decided to continue your studies but you may need a loan. No problem: You can apply for a loan from the Aide financière aux études (AFE), also known as the Government Loans and Bursaries Program.

Financial assistance can help you cut back on the hours you work or even help you avoid having to work at all, which would contribute to your academic success. However, you will have debts to repay.
