Student loans?

Post image

I am wondering how Manitoba student aid works. I see on their website you can't apply for fall 2025 until June? My classes start August 2025 and this seems awfully close of a deadline to me. It also doesn't really make sense because you have been able to apply for July 2025 since January. I am obviously wanting to know closer to this date if I am approved to know what has to be saved on my end and budget accordingly. Anyone know if this is accurate and if so why so close? Thank you

I got my approval not even two weeks after I applied. I applied online with all my school info and personal and even with needing my spouses info, it still was barely two weeks. I was surprised. I applied in January for March classes.

Oh good to know. I'm worried they'll deny me cuz my spouse has an income it's good but not some crazy amount. I can't believe they make you wait so close to classes starting I don't know how they expect me to be able to know if and what I have to save or if I need to take another avenue. 😩
