(Canadian Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel or CUAET)
Lethbridge College has an International Humanitarian Program that CUAET Students May Qualify for. It includes tuition reduction for up to 10 students per year. Students must apply to and be accepted at LC before they can apply for one of these 10 spots.
University of Lethbridge does not currently have a program operating
Medicine Hat College has a wide ranging program because students with a CUAET visa will receive refugee tuition rates at MHC which are the same as domestic tuition rates. To connect with these program we should contact the head of recruiting, Landon Heilman at [email protected]
The University of Alberta in Edmonton also has a wide ranging program where students submit proof of their CUAET visa and they will receive domestic tuition rates, and as noted on the U of A site, that is a 70% reduction from the international tuition rate.
