Making ‘cents’ of your money
It’s true: you can’t put a price on education. But, the reality is, schooling may be expensive and the numbers can add up quickly. There are a few options that can help: you can choose to be self-funded through private loans from family members or banks; if you are an aboriginal, you may qualify for FNMI Band/Organization Funding; or, you can apply for funding through government grants. Information on Funding options can be found at the Financial Aid desk in the Student Services area.
