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.

Currently, I am enrolled in my first class of Leadership Theory and Practice and it has been very pleasant experience. My professor (Don McCain) is highly knowledgeable and shares real world examples. The program is not that easy and certainly comes with it's own challenges. Program requires high level of motivation and discipline. I would defiantly recommend UFRED to my friends and family.
