NS Student Loans and Dal Bursaries

[polysicks]

Just submitted my student loan application, and in trying to figure out my budget for next year I was curious about some numbers.

 

What's the average NS Student Loan given out assuming essentially zero income/savings/assets? The federal student loan site (canlearn.ca) has a loan estimator tool that quotes me $14K, but I found an older thread suggesting NS awards were up to $20K.

 

 

Also, any idea if there is an average bursary incoming students receive? Browsing through the UofT forum it appears that everyone who qualifies for government student loans receives an average of $5800 in bursaries, but I'm sceptical if DalMed has similar largesse of endowments.
