Distinct funding sources to help you pay for your theological education at CBT, including many scholarships.
How It Works
Multiple sources of financial support.
In Alberta, there are two sources for student loans: the Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta. You only need to use one application—the decision to allocate funds from the two programs will be made for you. If you’re eligible, you may receive both Canada and Alberta Student Loans, though you’ll have multiple loan payments.
Beyond loans, explore scholarships, education savings plans, and on-campus employment opportunities.
Scholarships
CBT scholarships.
CBT administers scholarships specifically for our students. The vast majority of our students receive one or more scholarships to help offset tuition costs. These are based on academic achievement, financial need, and other criteria.
Learn more about available scholarships, eligibility, and how to apply on our Scholarships page.
Government Loans
Alberta Student Aid.
Alberta offers loans and grants to supplement the Canada Student Loan Program. Loans are interest-free while you attend a designated post-secondary institution full-time and must be repaid within a defined period.
