Scholarship Value

Your personal situation will determine how your studies will be financed. The things that are important are:

-	Your age: The UAF does not have age limitations, but your age does play a role in your study choices

-	Whether or not you have a residence permit

-	Your own income and your partner’s income

-	Your choice for full-time or part-time studies

If reimbursement of the study costs is not possible under the Student Financial Act or the Work and Social Assistance Act, the UAF can support you financially. The UAF’s financial support is a 60% donation and a 40% loan. You will have to repay the loan after your clientship has ended. Click here for more information.
