Achieving success in post-secondary education requires early high school planning and preparation.
Making a plan is an important first step, not only in terms of choosing a career and area of study, but
also to know how to save for education, what that education will cost, how to pay for it and what
student financial assistance programs are available to help offset costs.
To learn more about financial literacy and planning for post-secondary education, including saving for
education, budgeting for education costs, managing money and debt, and how to prevent/protect
against fraud and financial abuse, visit the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) at:

Students can access a number of student financial assistance programs to help reach their educational
goals. The Government of Canada and the Government of Saskatchewan work together to provide
financial assistance to help eligible students pay for post-secondary education. If you decide to attend
post-secondary education, you can apply for money to help with the costs. When you apply, the
government will assess your financial situation and offer you grants and loans based on your need.
