Two Sources of Loans

Sources of Student Loans in Alberta

If you apply for student funding, you will be considered for funding from both the provincial and federal governments.

You only need to complete one application (apply online).  Your funding (loans and grants) from both governments is calculated automatically.

Tip:  When it comes time to pay back your loans, you may have to make separate payments to EDULINX and/or the National Student Loans Service Centre.

• EDULINX is the service provider for your Alberta student loans, on behalf of the Government of Alberta.  This means that EDULINX administers your loan payments, correspondence and repayment relating to your Alberta student loans.
• The National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC) is the service provider for your Canada student loans, on behalf of the federal government.  This means that the NSLSC administers your loan payments, correspondence and repayment relating to your Canada student loans.

Before you apply, complete the Entrance Counselling session on the EDULINX website.  The session gives you all the information you need about how students loans work.
