One Application – Two Loans
When you apply to Manitoba Student Aid, you become eligible for loans and grants, not only from Manitoba Student Aid, but also from the Canada Student Loans Program. These loans are considered Canada-Manitoba integrated loans.
When you receive and repay your student loans, you deal with both lenders separately.
Requirements
To remain eligible for Manitoba Student Aid, you must:
- pass at least 60% of a full course load in each term at a college or university (ask your school if you’re not sure what a full course load is for you)
- pass 100% of your courses and keep your attendance above 90% if you are going to a private vocational or private training school

Repayment
The Governments of Canada and Manitoba have integrated some of the administration of their student loan programs. For Manitoba Student Aid (MSA) borrowers, this means that the loan disbursement and repayment of Manitoba student loans are now managed by the National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC). Students will continue to submit new student loan applications, requests for reassessments and appeals for funding to MSA as that part of the MSA program is not changing.
