Whether you’re a student living away from home and worried about covering your expenses, or you’re a recent graduate looking for work, we know the COVID-19 pand...emic has affected you too. Here’s what we’re doing to support you: We’re launching the Canada Emergency Student Benefit. You’ll get $1,250 a month from May to August with this - or $1,750 a month if you’re taking care of someone else or have a disability. We’re launching the Canada Student Service Grant. If you’re volunteering this summer and you’re helping in the fight against COVID-19, this grant will provide you up to $5,000 for your education in the fall. We’re creating 76,000 more jobs for young people. These placements will be in sectors that need an extra hand right now or that are on the front lines of this pandemic. We’re also extending scholarships and fellowships for student researchers by 3-4 months, because we need your help right now. We’re doubling all student grants from the government for the 2020-2021 school year. And because Quebec, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut have different systems, we’ll provide additional compensation to their governments so they can increase their financial aid programs. We’re also expanding eligibility for student financial assistance. And at the same time, we’re increasing support specifically for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Nation students.

Our Pints & Policy event is tonight! We look forward to seeing you there!
