Pay Tuition in Monthly Installments with the Interest-Free Payment Plan

One option that might be well-suited to students who still expect to have a regular income while completing their studies is Canadian Business College’s interest-free payment plan. Students have the option of paying their tuition for diploma programs in monthly installments, with no interest for the duration of their program.

The Lifelong Learning Plan is a Great Option for RRSP Holders

For those with a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP), the Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP) is a great option for financing your own education or that of a partner. The LLP is a Government of Canada initiative that allows you to withdraw amounts from your RRSP to finance full-time training or education for either yourself, or your spouse or common-law partner. You might be eligible for the LLP if you own an RRSP, are a Canadian resident, and are not currently in a repayment period for a previous withdrawal from your RRSP.

OSAP Offers Grants and Loans to Help Finance Your Accounting Program

The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a financial aid program that offers both grants and loans to help residents of Ontario (including Canadian citizens, permanent residents and protected persons) pay for college or university, including those training for payroll administrator careers. The amount that a student can get depends on their education expenses, their course load, and their personal financial situation, and can help pay for tuition, books and supplies, student fees, living expenses, and even child care, for students with children.
