StudentAid BC Service Disruption
Due to the BCGEU strike, StudentAid BC has been closed since September 24. As a result, no full-time or part-time student loan or grant applications can be submitted or updated. Since the service resumption date is unknown, we strongly recommend enrolling only in courses you can maintain without government funding.
If your existing application has been impacted and you need guidance on options including possible emergency funding, please email finaid@tru.ca with your student T-ID, a description of your situation, and your loan application number. Please note that StudentAid BC is unable to disburse any new or previously approved funding.
TRU offers a comprehensive range of programs to both assist students in financing their educational and living costs and to recognize academic excellence. Funding can be a combination of bursaries, scholarships, awards, WorkStudy positions, loans and grants.
Some of these programs are administered directly through Student Awards & Financial Aid, and for others we work with the appropriate government office. Some funding requires an application, some is provided upon the recommendation of faculty, and some scholarships and awards are automatically awarded based on performance or other criteria.
