Is there a limit to how long students in full time studies can receive Student Financial Assistance?
There are two limits to the program (1) the number of semesters and (2) the maximum loan limit. Students are eligible to receive assistance from the Program for up to 20 semesters to a maximum amount of Repayable or Remissible Loan assistance of $47,000. If a student borrows $47,000 before they have completed 20 semesters, they are deemed to have reached their loan limit. Likewise, if they receive assistance for 20 semesters and have not used up their $47,000, they are deemed to have received the maximum benefits under the program.
