Start by using the cost calculator to estimate your costs for the year, including tuition, fees and living expenses. Next, look at the resources available to you. You are expected to prepare for the costs of the Bachelor of Education program by accessing all resources available, including but not limited to:
Parent and family support
Summer earnings
Personal savings
Government student loans
Bursaries
Part-time work
Awards for both new and continuing Education students are administered by the Faculty of Education. You may also apply for other awards for UBC students.

You are encouraged to apply for the UBC General Bursary program as another type of financial support.
Government student loans are available to help supplement your financial resources. It is important to note that these loans will not cover all your costs for the BEd program.
Your student loan will be disbursed in two unequal instalments
Check your loan assessment for exact amounts and disbursement dates
Your loan disbursement dates will not match your tuition due dates, so make sure to plan ahead
A student line of credit may be an option for you to make sure you have enough money to cover your costs.
To apply you can inquire at any private bank. Bring your letter of acceptance to UBC, or a proof of enrolment letter, which you can download from your Student Service Centre (SSC) account.
The BEd program involves an intense course load and finding time to work may be difficult.
A Work Learn position may be your best option if you choose to work during your studies. It's great way to earn extra money during the academic year without having to work a lot of hours. For other part-time work, have a look at other part-time jobs on campus.
