Resources for Graduate Students

Canada Student Loans and Provincial Student Loan Funding

The current maximum loan for students receiving funding through BC is $5,440 per semester, but each student's actual eligibility will be determined based upon their individual financial circumstance. Students from other provinces will be subject to the maximums of their home province. As this funding will not cover both tuition and living expenses, students are encouraged to seek out alternate forms of funding like grants and scholarships by doing an exhaustive internet search. Various scholarship search tools are available on the internet such as www.studentawards.com, www.scholarshipscanada.com and www.fastweb.com.

American Students and Financial Assistance

Citizens of the United States are eligible to apply for Stafford Loans to attend Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Stafford Loan applications packages are available from the Financial Awards Office.

Entrance Scholarships

Emily Carr offers a limited number of entrance scholarships to Master of Applied Arts students. Application for these scholarships is not required; Emily Carr will select students based on their academic and artistic merits.

Established as an independent trust under the Will of the last Rt. Hon. William Mackenzie King (1874 - 1950), the Open Scholarship is available to graduates of Canadian universities who pursue graduate study in any discipline in Canada or elsewhere.  One Open Scholarship is awarded each year.
