The BC Career Colleges Association was set up in 1977 to promote and support those involved in private post-secondary education. Our aim is to ensure that the private training industry is recognized for the high level training and student satisfaction it delivers. With a shortage of skilled workers in B.C. and inadequate seats in the public post-secondary system, private institutions are a vital part of the education picture in this province.



FINANCIAL AID

STUDENT LOANS:

Most BC Career Colleges Association members are designated for student loans and have information on applying on-campus. When viewing our list of member schools, be sure to look for the Student Loans symbol (insert symbol here) the indicator that financial aid may be available to eligible students.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS:

Students at designated schools may also be eligible for government grants. These are awarded to eligible students as a non-repayable portion of a Canada or BC student loan. These grants and loans are designed to reduce the amount of the loan you must repay at the end of your program of study. Grants are only available to students who have taken at least eight months of full-time post-secondary education in the past.








BCCCA MEMBER SCHOOL GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS:

Some BCCCA member schools offer internal grants and scholarships based on need, academic standing or other criteria. When you visit our list of member schools (member list link), be sure to note the BCCCA Grants Symbol next to those member schools with scholarships available.
