Adler Graduate Professional School has limited financial aid options for incoming students.
Students seeking financial assistance beyond government programs like the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) can explore options from private institutions, including banks and credit unions. These private lenders offer student lines of credit and personal loans to help cover educational expenses.
If you are a newcomer to Canada, Windmill Microlending is Canada’s only national charity that provides low-interest loans to skilled immigrants and refugees to help pay for the costs of accreditation, education, and professional development courses. Learn more: www.windmillmicrolending.org
If you need additional support or guidance with your student loans or financial aid, you can reach out to the financial aid office at payments@adler.ca for assistance.
Adler Graduate Professional School is on OSAP’s approved institutions list.
