Congratulations. You’re on your way to making your post-secondary dreams come true! When you apply and are approved for a ScotiaLine™ personal line of credit for students you are automatically eligible to win a $1,000 CDN cash bursary.

Once your application is approved, your name will be submitted into the monthly bursary draws for the rest of the year! So get going - the sooner you’re approved, the more chances you have to win!

Steps to apply:


What you get:



Revolving line of credit available for full-time and part-time undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in a diploma, degree, or MBA program at an eligible post-secondary institution


Monthly interest-only payments while you’re in school


8-month grace period after graduation on principle repayment

How it works:


When you qualify for a ScotiaLine™ personal line of credit for students, both you and your parents share the responsibility for making interest payments while you’re in school, and for paying back the principal 8 months after graduation.


Your role is that of a co-borrower. You build up valuable credit history that will help you get credit in the future. Although you share responsibility, only your parent, guardian or spouse serves as the primary borrower on the line of credit for students, and therefore has the ability to authorize credit limit increases.


When you apply and are approved for a ScotiaLine™ personal line of credit for students you are automatically eligible to win a $1,000 CDN cash bursary or one of 10 $50 gift cards.


You can apply anytime you want – it’s no longer something that you only do at the beginning of the school year or at the start of a new semester.

Notes: 1Rates are subject to approval upon submission of a credit application. Prime means the Prime Lending Rate of The Bank of Nova Scotia. As of March 4, 2009 Prime is 2.5%.
