For students in need of financial assistance, there are several options that the School may suggest, based on their individual needs.
AFE-SFA – Quebec Loans and Bursaries Program
All NTS programs are recognized by the Quebec government for the Student Financial Assistance Program (SFA).
To be eligible for the SFA, a student must be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or have refugee or protected person status, as well as have proof of Quebec residency.
In order to apply, a student must also have a Permanent Code and Social Insurance Number.

NTS Student Bursaries
Consult the main page of the scholarships
The bursaries provided by the School are available for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-year students and are granted once a year, in February. Application forms are emailed to all students in November. To be eligible for a bursary, a student must have already paid the first term’s tuition fees.
The School may provide bursaries to students who are faced with urgent and insurmountable financial needs, to enable them to pursue their studies despite economic difficulties.
The Bursary Fund is made up of donations that the School has solicited from corporations, foundations, and individuals (including NTS employees and governors), whose generosity cannot be overstated.
The School’s CEO grants bursaries on the basis of an assessment process that takes into account a number of factors, particularly the level of financial aid the student has received as well as their personal debt load.
Emergency Loans
Generally, loans are granted between the end of September to mid-April. All applications must be submitted to Marc-André Durocher, Student Services Manager. The maximum amount during a single school year is $1000.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To be eligible for a bursary or loan from the School’s Emergency Funds, the student must first have exhausted all other financial aid options. Specifically, they must have:
- applied for loans and bursaries from the appropriated organizations in their home province;
- taken the necessary steps to secure a job during vacation periods;
- have made every effort to obtain aid from family, personal contacts, as well as organizations from their home base who are in the position to provide such assistance.
