Interest on the provincial half
The rate on the Prince Edward Island portion of the loan
This site has not checked Prince Edward Island's own published rate against its site, and carrying a remembered figure would be inventing one. The federal half of the loan carries no interest either way.
Check PEI Student Financial Services instead.
Repayment assistance
Apply separately to the province. A federal application does not reach the provincial half here.
Worth knowing
- Federal and provincial aid are issued separately, so there are two loans to track.
