Financial Aid
Financial aid can help subsidize, or pay part of the costs, of your education. While merit-based financial aid rewards high academic achievement, needs-based financial aid addresses equity in education. Financial aid helps students overcome barriers to higher education.
Using financial aid to help pay for your degree program at U of R gives you more resources to invest in yourself and your future.
We encourage you to access all financial aid available to you:
- Do not assume you won’t qualify for aid. Apply!
- Learn to navigate the undergraduate awards system by looking through everything available.
The University of Regina also offers many scholarships and awards that provide financial help to graduate students. Once you have been accepted as a fully qualified graduate student with no conditions or holds on your admission, then you are eligible to apply for our scholarships, awards or graduate teaching assistant positions.
Find out more about graduate scholarships and awards, and the Graduate Awards Portal.
Undergraduate Student Awards, Bursaries, Prizes and Scholarships
University of Regina gives you access to many awards, bursaries, prizes and scholarships. The best thing about these forms of financial aid is that you don’t have to repay them. From automatic entrance awards to application-based ones, find out about all the financial aid options. If you are connecting to the U of R through our Federated College partners, or if you are an Indigenous student, you can also access additional financial aid resources specifically for you.
Additional Funding Opportunities
In addition to financial aid options available through U of R, we have even more opportunities for you to access awards, loans, and emergency funding opportunities.
Student Loans & Grants
In Canada, federal and provincial / territorial governments provide student financial assistance through student loans and student educational grants.
Tip! Even if you do not want to take out student loans, apply for government student assistance anyway. Why? Because doing so automatically puts you into consideration for government grants. Start applying for student loans in mid-June for the fall semester.
