Guide to Funding Higher Education
A recent study showed that 85% of Canadian students will graduate from higher education with an average of $27,000 of debt. It doesn’t have to be that way, though, because there are many sources of funding available for higher education - from birth, through to post-graduation - that can make access to post-secondary education possible and reduce potential debt.
