Adult Basic Education Student Assistance Program (ABESAP)

Detailed Information for Students 

ABESAP Application Form   

 

The Adult Basic Education Student Assistance Program provides need-based grants for BC residents who wish to access pre-university level courses.

ABESAP can provide funding assistance for direct educational costs such as tuition and books for programs such as Basic Literacy, Academic Upgrading, Pre-Vocational programs, English as a Second Language and Adult Special Education.

Students who qualify have the opportunity to be funded once for each course.  If a course is not completed successfully, future funding for that course will be jeopardized.

Funding is awarded on a first come, first served basis, so it is important to pay close attention to application dates.

Applications will start being accepted as follows:

Fall Semester             July 4

Winter Semester        November 1

Summer Semester       April 1

Students attending classes at the Kamloops campus submit their completed forms to the Financial Aid & Awards Office (OM 1631). Students at the other centres return their forms to the general office.

Applications are assessed at the Financial Aid and Awards Office by a Student Finance Advisor.

Students who are applying for continued funding must demonstrate successful completion of previous courses.

If you are interested in the cost of your books you can access the TRU Bookstore.
