Fee Assistance

Applications open.

The Fee Assistance program provides financial assistance for eligible CIT students experiencing financial hardship.

Support types

Fee Assistance can provide financial assistances towards:

  • student fees, recognition fees and uniform fees generated through Banner (CIT's student enrolment system). Granted fees are paid by CIT staff directly off student’s account before being advised of the result.

    • AND/OR

  • required course materials available only through CITSA Bookshops. Granted amounts are by way of a credit at CITSA Bookshops. Credits are valid for approximately one (1) month.

Support limits

Approved funding can cover up to 50% of your unpaid invoices (after you pay the first $20) and/or required course materials.

You can submit more than one application in the same semester, but the total support is capped at $650 per student, per semester.

The amount you receive depends on what you request and the funds available when we process your application.
