The Canada Student Loans Program
Written on 07/28/2010 – 1:23 pm | by loanle08
The Government of Canada offers Canada Student Loans to full- and part-time post-secondary students who demonstrate financial need in most provinces and territories across Canada.
Through the Canada Student Loans Program (CSLP) the Government of Canada works in partnership with most provinces and territories to deliver student financial assistance. The Government of Canada provides 60 percent of the assessed need, up to a maximum of $210 in loans per week of study. The remaining 40 percent may be provided in the form of provincial or territorial student loans.
An estimated 4.3 million students have received almost $32 billion in Canada Student Loans since the CSLP was created in 1964. In 2009-2010, the CSLP provided over $3 billion in full- and part-time student loans to approximately 440,000 students and awarded $141.8 million in non-repayable Canada Study Grants and Canada Access Grants (87,368 grants).
