We’re excited to see the student living allowance boosted for Nova Scotia students receiving financial aid!
We look forward to continuing our advocacy to increase student financial assistance weekly maximums to reduce unmet need for student borrowers.

We're boosting the student living allowance. This means more money in students' pockets this fall, so they can focus on what matters – getting that education and building a brighter future.

Extending the Canada Student Grant and Loan programs will provide immediate relief to students in need, and the Canada Learning bond will now provide every child from a low-income family in Canada money to save for post-secondary education.
