If you are a Canadian student with a documented, permanent disability and in a course or program that is Student Aid eligible, you may be eligible for grants designed to assist you with education and living costs and exceptional education-related costs such as assistive services or equipment.
To be eligible for the Schedule 4 grant, students must first be approved for a loan through Alberta Student Aid.
For guidance with applying for a student loan, please visit the Student Connect Centre's page about post-secondary funding.
Students with an approved Reduced Course Load accommodation can maintain full-time student status at RDP. Students with permanent disabilities taking between 40% and 59% of a full-time course load may choose to apply for full-time funding if they have an approved accommodation for a Reduced Course Load.
Students with this approved accommodation must meet with their Accessibility Coordinator at the start of each term in order to use a Reduced Course Load for that term.
The Student Connect Centre is a one-stop-shop for information regarding financial support and resources, program information, general academic advising and student records.
The Student Connect Centre is located in room 1102.
