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 Canada Student Grants and Loans.
Students who have received federal student aid in their current program, at the school they are currently attending, may still qualify until July 31, 2029. If you think you might qualify, contact your provincial or territorial student aid office.
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.
