Higher Education Trend Report: Student Finance

In this data dashboard, we examine the state of student finance in Canada’s post-secondary education sector over a decade, including debt exposure and sources of funding, and forecast three potential scenarios for the future of college and university finances.

Which educational programs are most and least affordable for students? How do differing levels of provincial funding and tuition revenues impact colleges and universities across Canada? How have federal government cuts to international study permits affected institutional finances, and what might the next five years look like?

Explore the data dashboard to get our full analysis.
