Financial Aid

Langara College is committed to making students aware of the financial assistance available to them while they pursue their undergraduate studies. In addition to government financial aid, eligible students are also able to apply for bursaries, scholarships, and awards to supplement school and day-to-day expenses. If you’re worried about how to stretch your finances, let us help you relieve some stress!

StudentAid BC provides assistance in the form of Canada Student Loans or a combination of Canada Student Loans, BC Student Loans, and possibly grant funding. The amount and type of assistance awarded is based on need as assessed by the Provincial Authority. Students are reminded that this is an assistance program aimed at complementing, not replacing, their own financial resources. For information on how to apply, download the Full-Time or Part-Time information sheets.

The Langara Bursary is non-repayable assistance available to students who demonstrate financial need and are in good academic standing. Bursary recipients must be Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or protected persons with proof of status who are registered in full-time studies (nine credits or six or more credits for students with a registered disability). Please submit a complete application for consideration, by the stated deadline. Bursaries are awarded in the third month of the term (March/July/November) and are meant to support student expenses near the end of the term. For questions or more information, email finaid@langara.ca.

Provincial Tuition Waiver Program waives tuition and eligible fees for B.C students who are current or former youth in care. To be eligible for the waiver, students must be:

  • Studying full- or part-time at the undergraduate level at a B.C. public post-secondary institution; the Native Education College or an approved union-based trades training provider.
  • Adopted through the B.C. Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) or Indigenous Child and Family Service Agency (ICFSA); or
  • Formerly in the B.C. Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction Child in Home of Relative Program; or

Emergency Aid may be provided to students facing unforeseen financial emergencies and/or food insecurity.
