How do I apply for financial assistance?
Online:
- You must have a permanent code.

- The school codes are the following:
- ACS and DCS LaSalle 749548
- ACS Inter-Dec 749760

- DVS LaSalle 585501
- ACS = Continuing education
- DCS = Regular training program
- DVS = Vocational training
- Program codes:
Please take note that there are no periods between letters and numbers in program codes.
For example: Instead of NTA.1J, write NTA1J
AND
Program codes use the letter “o,” rather than the number “zero.”
For example: 410D0
Once your application for financial assistance has been made, any additional documents (including declarations) will be provided to you.
TO REDUCE WAITING TIME, IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO SEND THE COVER SHEET WITH APPLICATIONS.
Written applications for financial assistance:
Students without permanent codes have to apply for financial assistance in writing. Forms are available at LaSalle College or on the AFE website.
The final step:
Once your application has been accepted and your studies have started, a guarantee certificate is sent to the school. You will have to pick it up at the Cashier’s Office. The money will be in your account five business days after you’ve submitted this certificate
