Eligibility Criteria

To apply, you must:

• Be a Prince Edward Island resident (must have lived in PEI for 12 consecutive months, without being a full-time post-secondary student).
• Be enrolled as a full-time student (minimum 60% of a full course load) in an approved program at least 12 weeks in length and display satisfactory progress.
• Not be in default of previous federal or provincial loans and meet credit worthiness criteria.
• Have legitimate financial need.
• Full-time single students with no dependents, who have received a previous PEI Loan, can apply with a Returning Application Form.

Note: As an out-of-province student, you must submit a completed Academic Information Form with your PEI loan application. This is filled out and signed by the Student Access Centre on the 1st floor of the Administration Building.

How Do I Apply for Spring/Summer?

• Make sure that you are enrolled as a full-time student during your Spring and/or Summer semester(s).
• If you received loan funding for the Winter semester prior to the Spring/Summer semester, fill out a new full-time PEI Student Loan application once you have registered in Spring/Summer classes. Fill out Section 1100 with start of study dates from the September you just completed and end of study dates with when your Spring/Summer studies finishes.
• If you have not received loan funding for the Winter semester prior to the Spring/Summer semester, you must be enrolled full-time for at least 12 weeks during the Spring/Summer to qualify for loans.
