Financial Aid Directory

The information contained in this directory was current at the date of publication. Note that government and other programs are subject to changes and modifications at any time.

Throughout this directory, we have provided links to web sites where you can get further information on selected topics. NEADS believes strongly that official educational institutions, along with Federal and Provincial government web sites need to be accessible to visitors with disabilities. You can help by reporting any accessibility concerns directly to the web master of the site in question.

We will continue to add information on awards, scholarships and other government programs for Canadian college and university students with disabilities/special needs. Please send additions or changes to us at webmaster@neads.ca.
