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.
Meet with an Accessibility Coordinator at Red Deer Polytechnic to discuss the grants associated with both Canada Student Loans and Alberta Student Aid.
Submit appropriate documentation to Accessibility Services at Red Deer Polytechnic so that appropriate recommendations for services and technology can be made, and so the Coordinator can sign Student Aid's Schedule 4 that will recommend eligibility for grants.
