The University of Canterbury (UC) is an approved institution for US federal aid. Eligible US citizens enrolled in eligible programmes may apply for US financial aid, either through the US Federal Direct loan programme or through a private loan.

If you are enrolling at the University of Canterbury through a Study Abroad or other Exchange programme your Financial Aid is processed through the Financial Aid Office at your home university.
