Funding Options
Canadian students loans and grant programs are usually offered at the provincial level, such as the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP). Eligibility will depend on factors such as family income, dependents and whether you have a disability. While student loans have to be repaid with interest after graduation, grants don’t.
Beyond offering educational funding based on merit, some schools and organizations provide scholarship opportunities to assist those who identify as women, under represented minorities (URM) and members of the military such as the Canadian Armed Forces. Scholarships may cover full or partial costs of a particular course or bootcamp.
Tuition and other expenses can be more manageable by paying in monthly installments, though some come with restrictions or high eligibility criteria. Ask about whether you can pay by check or direct deposit, if you’re expected to pay in full by end of term and, of course, interest rates.
Schools may help students find full-time salaried positions, apprenticeships, internships or unpaid positions, and offer a tuition refund if they can’t within a set timeframe (usually within six months of graduation). Make sure to clarify terms and conditions around what you have to do, such as sending out applications or taking interviews, before committing.
An agreement that allows tuition to be paid through a portion of a graduate’s future income. Though ISAs usually don’t require a down payment, confirm what you’ll need to pay back each month and over what time period. ISAs may increase the cost of education over the long term versus paying upfront.

I graduated from Trebas Institute in the fall of 2004 and received a job two months afterwards with a great recommendation from my teachers at Trebas. All of the knowledge I gained at Trebas, I use today. The teachers are knowledgeable in their fields and have years of experience.

Before Trebas, I was just a small-time DJ - doing it on the side. However, during my one-year training at Trebas, I gained so much knowledge about audio and music and all the other aspects in and around the industry. I can say I truly learned to separate quality music from loud music and hear and identify sounds in music that I had no clue of when I was just DJ’ing.
The instructors are very experienced and still a part of the industry in one way or another, therefore, you get the latest info at all times to prepare you for what’s ahead. You feel at home when you are at Trebas. You will never find another school with so many down-to-earth instructors. I must say this is where my true career starts, and I want to say thanks to all the Trebas staff and my classmates for a wonderful year.

I have been working in this industry since the age of eleven, with my first published songwriting credit. From there, I progressed [through] many different roles over the years. By the time I finished high school, I had already opened up for Grammy award-winning artist, Rhianna, with my hip-hop group ‘N.B.A’.
As my experience grew, I wanted to learn more about the business side of the music world so I could start my own record label and management company. When I discovered Trebas Institute, it was exactly the fuel I needed for my vehicle. Trebas gave me the tools I needed to succeed further and carry my career into the next stratosphere.
I was a Trebas student myself not long ago, and today I have Trebas students interning for my company and grads working for us! I own a record label, ‘Seven 30 Ent’, and a management company. We represent clients like incredibly talented up-and-coming singer/songwriter Leila, and Canada's #1 female DJ, ‘SiVuPlay’.
Not just a school but a life experience, Trebas proved to be the most excellent resource out there for me and proven for others as I saw my peers excel, like my best friend, Justin Cohen, who now works for Sony Music BMG, or award-winning Filmmaker and successful Music Video Director, Jerome ‘Rome’ Kruin, both young Trebas grads.
Even the successful Manager and Producer of Grammy award-winner Sean Paul, Jeremy Harding, is a Trebas grad. Thank you Trebas - I will be coming back every year to talk to the students and offer them as many resources as possible!
