Figuring out how you will pay for education is vital for all students. The process can be confusing due to the large number of programs available for students dealing with a disability. The Disability Resource Centre helps by providing information regarding funding options and procedures for applying.

Knowing which funding programs are best for you depends on your individual needs. Students should make an appointment with a Disability Advisor to discuss their individual needs for the academic year.  You can also consult the British Columbia Student Assistance Plan website www.bcsap.bc.ca .

If you have any questions concerning these programs, please contact the Disability Resource Centre or check out UFV Financial Aid and Awards.
