5 Ways to Help Pay for College
- Saving up. If you’ve saved enough to self-fund your postsecondary costs and can avoid loans etc. – good for you!
- Working while in school. Having part-time work while at college is a common way to help cover your costs and build your resume. Check out employment resources below.
- Support from family or friends. If you are fortunate to have financial support from a family member or other source... be sure to say thank you!
- External awards. There are many organizations in Ontario and Canada that offer support for students. Below is a list of external awards we’ve reviewed and sorted for you.
- Campus student employment program (CSEP). Like number 2, CSEP jobs are on-campus employment opportunities for students with demonstrated financial need. Learn more about CSEP.
