Le Programme canadien de prêts aux étudiants à temps partiel est financé par le gouvernement du Canada et administré en Ontario par le Régime d'aide financière aux étudiantes et étudiants de l'Ontario (RAFEO).

Ce programme offre des prêts aux étudiants admissibles qui étudient à temps partiel, c'est-à-dire qui suivent 20 à 59 pourcent d'une charge de cours complète. Dans le cas d'une personne handicapée, c'est 20 à 39 pour cent de la charge de cours complète qu'il lui font suivre. L'intérêt doit être payé alors que l'étudiant est encore aux études. 1, record 3, French, - Programme%20canadien%20de%20pr%C3%AAts%20aux%20%C3%A9tudiants%20%C3%A0%20temps%20partiel
