Master list of designated educational institutions
Starting August 1, 2026, students going to private, for-profit international schools, will no longer be eligible for federal funding. Students who received federal student aid for their current program, while at the same school, may still qualify until July 31, 2029.
Pending approval, most full-time students going to private, for-profit schools in Canada, will also no longer be eligible for the Canada Student Grant for Full-Time Students.
If you were not approved for funding and think you or your school may qualify, contact your provincial or territorial student aid office.
The Government of Canada has suspended the provision of financial assistance (Canada Student Grants and Loans) to all students attending Atlantic Business College for periods of studies that start August 1, 2026 and after. If you have applied or wish to apply for student financial assistance to attend this institution, please read the Notice of suspension of federal student financial assistance.
The master list of designated educational institutions is a list of all the schools where students can receive Canada Student Grants and Loans.
The provinces and territories determine which schools, and which programs within a school, can be designated for funding. While a school may be eligible, some of its programs may not. Only programs that meet the criteria of the student's province or territory and the federal government will qualify.
If you wish to go to a school that is not on the list, or have questions about whether a program is eligible, please contact your province or territory.
