Provincial Student Loans (PSL)

PEI Student Financial Services oversees two separate and distinct loans; Canada Student Loans (CSL) and Provincial Student Loans (PSL). PSL is only issued to eligible students based upon need and only after the receipt of a Pre-Study Report (PSR) which includes ROE or letter from employer and must be received by the deadline, six weeks prior to end date of studies. PSL is currently a paper based loan and must be completed timely and in good form to be received and processed by Edulinx-PEI (Service provider hired by PEI to manage provincial loans).
