Personalized Plans
If it still proves a bit too heavy on the wallet, just speak to one of our admissions coordinators, who will work out a specialized plan just for you.
Student Line of Credit
This is the number one choice of our students.
What is a student line of credit?
A student line of credit is a set amount of funds borrowed from Canadian banks, credit unions, etc, to allow students to pursue their educational journey. It is funds that are allocated specifically to you, and are accessible whenever needed.
How it works
We have a great reputation with the major Canadian Banks. They approve student lines of credit for up to $20,000 a year, and offer amazing low interest rates, including a one-year interest free grace period.
You must meet the following criteria:
- Be a full-time or part time, post-secondary student
- Be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident
A co signer may be required depending on your credit score
Check out the links to see the various offers for students from the local banks.
TD, BMO, RBC, Scotiabank, National Bank,
In addition, be sure to check out personal lines of credit. These are offered at a higher interest rate, but can exceed the $20,000 loan, and offer a more flexible repayment period.
Tangerine, Meridian, MoGo, Simplii, Manulife
We highly encourage you to speak to a local bank representative to gain more insight, be offered customization, and be aware of any conditions.. Miami Ad School Toronto does not work with any financial institution, and is not guarranting you a line of credit. We are only stating what has worked well for some of our students in the past. International students and students who have borrowed from private lenders will need to independently review and confirm the details of their repayment with their respective loan providers.
Award Show Entrance Fees
Our students love competitions. It sparks their creative engines. With so many great ones running all year long, it’s tough to narrow down which ones to sign up for. In addition, each competition has a sign up fee, Yikes! We, at Miami Ad School Toronto, have you covered. If students are willing to register and participate for the entire duration of the competition, we will foot the entrance fee.
