Paying for Your Studies

As a world-class city, moving to and living in Vancouver can be daunting, but options exist to make studying in Vancouver easier and more affordable. With InFocus Film School’s competitive tuition, scholarship opportunities, loans and funding options, and student resources, we make your investment in your education easy and affordable.

Flexible Payment Plans

We know that pursuing your filmmaking dreams shouldn’t be held back by financial stress. That’s why we offer interest-free, customizable payment plans — so you can focus on your education, not the upfront cost.

  • Split your tuition into manageable installments over the duration of your program.
  • Tailor your plan to fit your budget — choose the payments and term that works for you.
  • Combine with financial aid — use payment plans alongside student loans, grants, or scholarships for a seamless funding strategy.

Our team is here to help you design a plan that works for you, so you can start your film journey without financial worry.

Student Loans + Grants

Many InFocus Film School students use government student loans to fund their education. The agency you apply through depends on your province of residence. For example, if you’ve lived in British Columbia for at least 12 months, you’ll apply through StudentAid BC, which offers:

  • No interest on student loans if you make your payments on time.
  • No repayments required until 7 months after graduation, giving you time to launch your career.
  • Automatic grant assessments when you apply — non-repayable funding that can reduce or even replace your loan amount.

Best of all, applying is free, and approval is based on financial need — not your credit history — making student loans an accessible option for aspiring filmmakers.

Living Expenses and Other Funding

For full-time programs, many living expenses can be covered under student loans. Often these are low- or no-interest and a great option for students who require additional funds.

As we are an accredited, Designated Learning Institution, many banks will provide student lines of credit to study at InFocus. Talk to your bank to find out if you qualify.
