Before applying…
Talk with a Disability Advisor/Reviewer at your school about
your educational goals and what kind of supports may already
be in place at your chosen institution.
What permanent disability student aid could I be
eligible for?
• Canada Student Grant for Students with Permanent
Disabilities: $2,000 per loan year to assist you with
education and living costs.
• Canada Student Grant for Services and Equipment for
Students with Permanent Disabilities: Up to $20,000 per
loan year to help you with exceptional education related
costs such as assistive services or equipment.
• The Canada Student Grants program may cover up to 75%
of the cost of a Learning Assessment (up to a maximum of
$1,700 per loan year) if the assessment conrms you have
a learning disability.
When should I apply?
It is best to apply by early July for September study. You can
apply at any time of the year but Alberta Student Aid must
receive your application, including Schedule 4, at least
30 days before this application’s session end date.
What is a reduced course load?
Your disability may limit you from taking a full course load. If
so, you can carry as little as 40% of a full course load and still
apply for full-time student aid. Your Schedule 4 must be signed
by an ofcial at your school to conrm that you are taking a
reduced course load. If you are studying part-time, you may
also be eligible for permanent disability funding. A part-time
application can be printed from studentaid.alberta.ca
Tips for completing your Schedule 4
• All $ amounts must be submitted in Canadian dollars.
• If you apply for student aid online, you must still submit
a paper Schedule 4.
• Attach all required documentation to your Schedule 4.
• The Disability Advisor/Reviewer at your school is required
to sign Section 4 of your Schedule 4.
• If you are applying for a reduced course load, Section 3 of
your Schedule 4 must be signed by an ofcial at your school.
The Disability Advisor/Reviewer at your school may also
be authorized to sign this section. Check with the advisor/
reviewer rst for assistance and further instructions.
Do I need to keep receipts?
If you receive student aid for assistive services and equipment,
you must submit your receipts to Alberta Student Aid by the
end of your current study period to show that the student aid
you received was used as intended. Write your Social Insurance
Number (SIN) and your name on each receipt.
If you do not use all of the student aid, you must return the
unused funds to Alberta Student Aid. Make your cheque or
money order payable to Government of Alberta. If you do not
send receipts or return the unused funds, you will be in an
overaward situation.
If you have a documented permanent disability and are attending post-secondary studies, you may be eligible to receive more
student aid. You must include medical documents with your first application.
What is a Permanent Disability?
A permanent disability is a functional limitation caused by a physical or mental impairment that restricts the ability of a person
to perform the daily activities necessary to participate in studies at a post-secondary level or labour force, and is expected to remain
with the person for the person’s expected natural life.
If I receive a disability grant for services or equipment for post-secondary students with permanent disabilities, I hereby agree to
provide, by the end of my current study period, receipts which will show that the student aid was spent for its intended purposes.
Include your name and Social Insurance Number on all receipts and upload electronically.
