What is the impact of the new program on Northern Residents – Schooled in the NWT?
Tuition and book limits will be $1750 and $300 per semester. Students will receive a monthly living allowance as a Remissible Loan. Benefits are now all based on schooling in the NWT, not length of residency. The lifetime limit for the Basic Grant or Remissible Loan is 12 semesters out of a maximum of 20 semesters of funding. The new lifetime loan limit is $47,000. A Repayable Loan and the NWT Study Grant for Students with Disabilities are also available.
