• I would like to study Marine Engineering at an institution other than the CCGC and work for the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) after I graduate. Does the CCG offer financial aid during the study period for those who are interested in employment with the CCG?

  If you are selected as an Officer-Cadet in the Ships’ Officer Training Program, you do not pay tuition, room and board or books; in fact, we pay you. In addition, you receive free uniforms and clothing and one trip home each year.

  We do not offer financial aid for students of other institutions. However, if you decide to enroll in our Marine Engineering Program at the CCGC, we can offer you much more. The program duration is 45 months, during which you will be hired as a student-officer in training and you will receive a base salary. You will not have to pay for room and board, books or tuition and you will receive free uniforms and clothing and one trip home every year. The number of years you study at the CCGC count as years of service to the Federal Government and towards your pension plan.
