In just a few year’s time, three quarters of all new job openings in Canada will require postsecondary education.
We’re here to help you plan for your future
Students will be more likely to be employed and to earn more than those who have not continued their studies beyond secondary school, which confirms that a college education is a good investment of time and money.
Financial planning is an integral part of preparing for your postsecondary studies. Determining what your expenses and sources of income will be is just as crucial to a positive Cambrian College experience as researching your intended program of study, visiting the campus, and meeting with academic personnel beforehand.
Visit the Budget Planner to help meet your educational financial goals.

Institutional Special Bursary Program
This bursary provides you with assistance if you’re only able to study on a part-time basis (and not a full-time basis) due to either the accommodation of a disability or if you have children who are under the age of 12 and require childcare. It is designed to help you obtain your first post-secondary credential, i.e. a diploma or certificate. To be considered for this bursary, you must be studying part-time (enrolled in a 20-59% course load) and be considered low-income as defined by your annual gross income and family size.
The bursary can cover the costs of tuition, compulsory fees, books/supplies, travel, and childcare (if necessary). The bursary is non-repayable.
If you’re considering applying for this bursary, the Financial Aid Specialist can provide more information about the requirements and the Enrolment Centre can help you determine your eligibility.
