Finances

Queen's University and the Faculty of Law are committed to ensuring that a legal education remains financially affordable to students. In Ontario's environment of regulated tuition fees for professional schools, we are actively engaged in enhancing and developing programs to provide our students with various forms of financial assistance. Of all Canadian universities, Queen's consistently ranks among the top for the percentage of its total budget spent on student assistance.

Student Lines of Credit

As another source of funding, you may wish to apply for a student line of credit or a personal student loan from a bank. These loans do not require a demonstration of financial need and provide special terms to assist the financing of your studies in a professional degree program.Many major banks now offer special programs to finance professional degree programs. Representatives of the Royal Bank of Canada and of Scotiabank have offered to provide advice and service at the downtown Kingston branches.
