Post-secondary students can now apply for federal grants to cover the cost of their studies without taking out a loan.
Advanced Education Minister Renée Cable announced immediate changes to Manitoba Student Aid in a news release Thursday.
“To be considered for federal grants, students had to choose between applying for student loans or not applying at all. With these new application changes for 2025-26, now available online, education is more affordable and accessible,” Cable said.
The release indicated full-time students enrolled in an eight-month study period will be eligible for up to $4,200 in federal funds they do not have to pay back. Students with disabilities and dependents may be eligible for extra funding.
