Eligibility

Full-time or Part-time Students :
Eligibility for a student loan is different for full-time and part-time students.

Student Aid Alberta considers you a full-time student if you are :
** Registered in at least 60% of what your institution considers a full course load. Only post-secondary courses can be used to determine your eligibility.
** A student with a permanent disability approved to study at a reduced course load.

Check with a student advisor or a disability advisor at your post-secondary institution about how many courses you need to take to be considered either a full-time or part-time student.

Part-Time Students :
Financial Eligibility :
Part-time student aid eligibility is based on your income. If you are married, your spouse’s income is also considered when calculating the family’s income.

The following costs are considered when determining part-time eligibility :
** tuition and mandatory fees
** books, supplies and instruments
** disability-related costs (if required)
** transportation – $50 per month (if required)
** childcare – (if required) provide receipts if you need more than $75 per month, per child

Transportation and childcare costs are not considered if you are in a correspondence or distance learning course.

Student Eligibility :
You must either :
** be a Canadian citizen
** be a permanent resident, or

You must also be an Alberta resident. Alberta must be the last province you have lived in for 12 consecutive months, while you were not a full-time post-secondary student.
