B.C. Access Grant for Students with Disabilities

This program helps full-time students with a permanent, or a persistent or prolonged, disability with the cost of education by replacing up to $1,560 ($30 per week of study) per program year of B.C. student loan funding with non-repayable grant funding.

The B.C. Access Grant for Students with Disabilities (BCAG-D) is only available to students attending B.C. public post-secondary schools.

Note: Students enrolled at schools other than a B.C. public school during the 2025/26 program year who received BCAG-D funding for the same program at the same school, may request to continue to receive these grants until their program is complete, or until July 31, 2029, whichever occurs first.

You may be eligible if you:

  • qualify for federal and provincial student financial aid
  • are enrolled in a full-time program at a designated public post-secondary school
