Canada Student Grant for Students with Disabilities

Students with a permanent disability, or a persistent or prolonged disability, enrolled in an eligible full-time or part-time post-secondary program at a designated school, who have financial need and provide documents confirming their disability. The grant is not available to students from Quebec, the Northwest Territories or Nunavut, which have their own student aid programs.

Proof of disability (for example, a medical certificate, a Disability Tax Credit approval letter, or documentation from a qualified professional) and an application through your provincial or territorial student aid office.

Apply for student financial aid through your province or territory and indicate you have a disability. The grant is assessed automatically.

Not declaring a disability on the student aid application, which means missing the grant. Believing you need the Disability Tax Credit — a medical letter from a qualified professional also qualifies.
