Government Student Loans
Canadian Student Loans 
B.C.
residents can apply for student loans at the BCSAP website.
Canadian students are able to apply for student loans through the province where they have been in residence for a minimum of twelve consecutive months, excluding time spent in full-time studies. In order to be eligible for a Canadian student loan, students must enroll in a minimum of 9 credit hours per term (Fall, Winter and Summer) over the loan period. Loan applications for B.C. and some other provinces are available from the Financial Aid Office. Students may also contact the appropriate provincial authority to obtain Student Loan Applications. If a student wishes to apply for a loan for studies beginning in September, applications should be made by May or June, since the process normally takes six to eight weeks.

American students
may apply for subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford student loans.
Graduate students are eligible for as much as $8500 (US) with
full interest subsidy, and for an additional $12,000 (US) in
unsubsidized loans. Subsidized loan interest is paid to the lender
by the government; unsubsidized loans accrue interest while the
student is in school. To be eligible for aid, an American student
must be registered in 18 credit hours per academic year; although
some funding may also be made available to students taking as
few as 9 credit hours over the year. To apply, students must
first complete the “Free Application
for Federal Student Aid” form, available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Students should be sure to complete all questions fully so that
the application process is not delayed. In “Section H:
Information Release,” the school code for Regent College
is G10675. Students should contact the Financial Aid Office for
further instructions as the application process has several additional
steps. The application process may take up to eight weeks.
