Polytechnique Montréal provides all the information and the help needed by its students, when preparing their application, for the various provincial scholarship programs for which they are eligible. The Quebec government offers generous and targeted financial support programs for low-income students. The Loans and Bursaries Program enables Quebec students with insufficient financial resources to pursue full-time secondary school level vocational training, college or university studies. These programs consider different criteria such as the student or family income: http://www.afe.gouv.qc.ca/en/loans-and-bursariesfull-time-studies/loans-and-bursaries-program/
