Alberta increasing student grant funding
LETHBRIDGE, AB – The provincial government is increasing the Alberta Student Grant in order to make post-secondary education more affordable for over 20,000 students.
Recipients of the grant for the 2023-24 academic year will receive up to $5,100 in non-repayable funding support. Monthly support payments will rise from $250 to $425 per month.
Rajan Sawhney, Minister of Advanced Education said, “No student should be deterred from reaching their career goals. Alberta’s government will continue to find ways to keep life affordable for Albertans and to set them up for success, both during and after their studies.”
Applications for the grant for the 2023-24 school year opened Wednesday, June 28, 2023. Students applying for Alberta student loans will be automatically assessed for the grant, removing the separate application process.
