I am hoping to attend the paramedic program held jointly by Centennial College and the University of Toronto for a BSc in paramedicine. The reason I will be attendin at that time instead of this September is the fact I missed the deadline for student financial assistance. Here in the NWT since I am Metis the Government of the NWT will provide me with a basic grant. As well since I was born in the NWT I am eligible for a supplementary grant. As well I can get a forgivable student loan. With the forgivable loan provided by the Government of the NWT I would not have to pay it back if I work in the NWT. The job only has to be in the NWT it would not have to be EMS or health related. But I probably would be paying it back because I would most likely be working in any other province other than Alberta. My reason for that is because the Alberta College of Paramedics have the highest exam and registration fees in Canada.
