BC are a form of financial aid granted to British Columbia residents for postsecondary education. The programs have been designed by the government of British Columbia in collaboration with the government of Canada. Both provincial and federal funds can thus be accessed with a simple application form. The repayment plan of the BC will have to be conducted separately for each government. What are the conditions or eligibility criteria one has to meet in order to receive this kind of financial assistance? You must be a resident of British Columbia and a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. The status of protected person also corresponds to the requirement. You must be enrolled with an eligible school. You must bring proof that you need financial aid. You must have satisfactory academic results.

BC are also available for part-time students but the application process is a bit different. Read more on this kind of financial assistance on the StudentAid BC website. In case you are eligible for other grants, bursaries or scholarships you have to file different applications. Once your file is processed, StudentAid BC sends a notification to inform you whether you have been approved for financial assistance or not. Approved BC require a further step for document processing. You will receive all the legal documents with the terms and conditions together with the Master British Columbia Student Loan Agreement. This is an official document that is sent the first time you get a federal student loan, and it remains valid for all the subsequent loans. Read these documents very carefully, and make sure you understand all the terms. BC are operated on the basis of the loan agreement only after the confirmation of your identity. The enrollment with a postsecondary educational institution should also be confirmed. Then, the funds are sent directly into your bank account. Remember that you need a guarantor if you are under 19 years of age.
