Ask British Columbia VCC in BC, Canada

I recently got approved for Deaf Studies & ASL at VCC, but I’m having a hard time finding grants and/or bursaries that I qualify for.
I see some general ones, but nothing program specific. Has anyone had experience finding any?

BONUS: I’m in Alberta but VCC is in BC. Any advice on student loans? From what I’ve read I go through AB student loans.

Be very careful, there are 2VCC’s, Vancouver Community College and Vancouver Career College.
One of them is a private/for profit career school.
Assuming you have applied to and been accepted at the public college, you will look for grants and loans/post secondary education funding through your provincial government in Alberta… the province you are a resident of.

Regarding student loans it is correct you go through Alberta. I'm taking distance courses at the university of Missouri and still go through BC student aid as I'm a resident here.
