Government-Sponsored Student Loan

Getting a student loan may be a smart option if your program will boost your earning power. Securing a government-sponsored student loan gives you more breathing room than a conventional bank loan, as you are not required to pay interest until six months after you complete your studies.

  • Visit studentaidbc.ca to find out if you are eligible. Apply six to eight weeks before you register.
  • Once you've been accepted into the ABT program and applied for a student loan, please ensure you apply for a fee deferral through UFV.
  • UFV's Financial Aid department can answer your questions regarding your financial aid application or your UFV fee deferral.

Talk to Your Current Employer

Ask your employer about:

  • Professional development funds — review the program's requirements as you may have to remain at your current job for a set amount of time after you complete the traning.
  • Tuition assistance
  • Sponsorship (Once you've confirmed sponsorship with your employer, ensure your employer fills out the Sponsoring Agency Approval form)
