Full-time funding for out-of-province students

If you are from a province or territory other than BC, you’re eligible to receive government student loan assistance by applying through your home province or territory.

Your home province or territory is generally where you lived for 12 consecutive months (excluding months of full-time post-secondary study) before attending UBC, depending on whether you are a dependent or an independent student. Learn how to determine your province of residency.

Check your course load requirements to find out if you are registered in an eligible course load for meeting and maintaining the full-time requirements for your loan province.
