Delay in Release of Manitoba Student Aid Funding
Due to the recent Java vulnerability issue Manitoba Student Aid experienced a delay in confirming the enrollment of students with their schools. As a result payments to students which were expected to be distributed in late December and early January may be delayed. Work has been done to provide a temporary solution for students waiting for the disbursement for their student loan. However, the funding may arrive approximately one to two weeks later than expected. We apologize for this delay, but expect that distribution will take place by mid-January.
We understand this may have a serious effect on the finances of students. We encourage you to reach out directly to your school to discuss your financial challenges as a result of the delay in student aid payments to determine if there are any available supports you can access.
