Amari / Getting ready
Your 7-day student onboarding checklist
A guided week of simple steps to get ready to explore student aid — at your own pace. This is an applicant checklist, not a funding deadline.
- This is a personal applicant checklist, not a funding deadline. The 7-day window is a suggested pace for getting your own information ready; it is not an application window and nothing closes after 7 days.
- Checking an item records only your own confirmation in this browser. Alkēbulan Pathways does not verify it, and every item stays pending external review by the school, aid office or funder.
- Never enter your SIN, government or school login credentials, passport details or transcripts here. This checklist does not collect or transmit them.
- Nothing on this page submits anything to a government, school or funder, and no one is called automatically.
You prepare and submit everything yourself on the official websites. This checklist only helps you keep track.

- Day 1
Confirm your school and program designation
Ask the school or aid office whether your school and program are designated for student aid. DLI or EQA status alone does not establish aid eligibility.
Status: Pending external review - Day 2
Check current aid rules
Federal and BC private-school student-aid rules changed on August 1, 2026. Read the current rules on the official aid website before relying on any estimate.
Status: Pending external review - Day 3
Confirm your personal eligibility category
Residency, status in Canada, study load and financial-need rules apply. International students on temporary permits are generally not eligible for StudentAid BC.
Status: Pending external review - Day 4
Estimate your costs and needs
List tuition, fees, materials and living costs so you can compare them against what official sources may offer.
Status: Pending external review - Day 5
Review official funding sources
Use the Amari Funding Finder and the official finders to note sources that may fit. Eligibility and open status are not assessed here.
Status: Pending external review - Day 6
Prepare your own application
Gather the documents the official application asks for, on the official website. Do not share SIN, credentials, passports or transcripts with this website.
Status: Pending external review - Day 7
Submit through official channels
Submit directly on the official aid or funder website when you are ready. Nothing is submitted for you from this checklist.
Status: Pending external review
Schools, aid offices and funders make all eligibility and approval decisions. Age or income figures such as 18–65 or under $200,000 are unverified partner-specific criteria, not official general eligibility. This checklist stores your confirmations only in this browser session and sends nothing anywhere.
