This assistance is granted in the form of a loan that is guaranteed by the Government of Quebec and that does not bear interest until the end of the studies.<\/p>\n<p>The amount of assistance granted takes into account, on the one hand, the expenses normally related to studies (school fees and living expenses, etc.) and, on the other hand, the students&#8217; financial resources. It also takes into account, if applicable, the income of the child&#8217;s parents, sponsor or spouse. When the calculated financial need is greater than the amount of the loan awarded, a grant may be added to it.<\/p>\n<p>By applying for financial aid <strong>before the end of June<\/strong>, students can considerably speed up the processing of their application. If an amount of financial assistance is earmarked for them, they are more likely to receive it before the start of the school year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Financial aid is only available to local Quebec and Canadian students, as well as permanent residents.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"overflow-hidden || md:row-start-1 md:col-start-1 md:col-span-6 \">\n                        <div class=\"thumbnail w-full rounded-xl rounded-bl-[80px] lg:rounded-[20px] lg:rounded-bl-[160px]\"  style=\"padding-bottom: 125.77160493827%\" >\n      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/osullivan.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/description-4-1024x1536.jpg\" class=\"attachment-1024x9999 size-1024x9999\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osullivan.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/description-4-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/osullivan.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/description-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/osullivan.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/description-4-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/osullivan.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/description-4-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/osullivan.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/description-4-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/osullivan.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/description-4-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/osullivan.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/description-4-1400x2100.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/osullivan.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/description-4-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/osullivan.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/description-4-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/osullivan.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/description-4-480x720.jpg 480w, https:\/\/osullivan.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/description-4-350x525.jpg 350w, https:\/\/osullivan.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/description-4-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/osullivan.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/description-4.jpg 1707w\" \/>  <\/div>                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section class=\"text-image section lightBlue different-background\">\n        \n<span class=\"absolute top-0 left-0\" ><\/span>        <div class=\"wrapper\">\n            <div class=\"lg:grid-col\">\n    <div class=\"col-span-9 || lg:col-span-7\">\n                    <p class=\"subtitle-dot mb-5 || mb:mt-7\">Simulation of loans and bursaries<\/p>\n                            <h2 class=\"wysiwyg-title || text-h2\"><p>Personalized assistance for <em>each situation<\/em><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n            <div class=\"mt-10 || md:mt-12 md:grid-col\">\n                <div class=\"mb-10 || md:mb-0 md:row-start-1 md:col-start-1 md:col-span-7 lg:col-start-1 lg:col-span-6\">\n                    <div class=\"wysiwyg-container\">\n                        <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The college also offers several scholarships each year, called the <em><strong>Excellence Scholarships<\/strong><\/em>.
