Funding and Financial Aid

Cost and fees

Going abroad currently includes additional costs that can range between $1,000 to $7,000 depending on the type of study abroad opportunity and length of your experience.

However, there are several funding options available. Since you remain a NAIT student while abroad, you may be eligible for Alberta Student Aid as a full-time student.
