About this award

Yukon's flagship non-repayable grant for residents pursuing post-secondary studies anywhere in Canada or the USA — $185 per week (2025-26), 170 weeks lifetime maximum. Stacks with federal Canada Student Loans/Grants (Yukon participates in the federal program). Requires 2 years Yukon residency and tax-filing as a Yukon resident.

The Yukon Grant is the Yukon's flagship student financial assistance program — a non-repayable grant paid weekly to Yukon residents pursuing post-secondary studies. The 2025-26 cycle pays $185 per week, with a lifetime maximum of 170 weeks of funding (verify the current cycle's week-rate on yukon.ca). Critically, the Yukon Grant pays out for studies at designated institutions ANYWHERE in Canada or the USA — not just within Yukon — making it especially valuable for Yukon students who must leave the territory to access most post-secondary programs. The grant stacks with federal Canada Student Loans and Grants (Yukon participates in the federal Canada Student Financial Assistance Program), so Yukon students can receive both the territorial Yukon Grant and federal aid in the same year. Eligibility hinges on Yukon residency: you must have lived in Yukon for the 2 years immediately before classes begin AND be filing taxes as a Yukon resident. The grant supports undergraduate, graduate, college, and trades programs. The 170-week lifetime cap means most undergraduate students will use 100-125 weeks (32+ weeks per academic year × 4 years), leaving room for some additional graduate or post-secondary funding before exhausting the cap.

Strategy

Apply early — the Yukon SFA portal processes applications on a rolling basis, but the funding payment cycle aligns with your institution's term schedule.

Strategy

The 2-year residency requirement is strict: if you've moved away from Yukon for any reason other than full-time study, you may have to re-establish residency before becoming eligible.

Strategy

The Yukon Grant pays in lump sums per term, so plan your cash flow around term boundaries.

Strategy

If you're studying outside Yukon (most students are, given limited in-territory programs), the grant continues to flow as long as you remain a Yukon tax-filer.

Strategy

Stack the Yukon Grant with federal Canada Student Loans/Grants in the same year — it's not either-or.

Strategy

Yukon also offers companion programs (Yukon Excellence Awards, Student Training Allowance, First Year University Scholarship) — check yukon.ca/en/education-and-schools/financial-support-for-students for the full list.
