By "school", do you mean university? If so, there *may* be financial aid programs that are offered by the university but aren't really advertised by the school

My (former) university offered bursaries to all students and awarded basically free money, depending on the applicant's financial status and the little essay they write to explain why they need the money. The only thing was that the university didn't really advertise the program and I didn't hear about it until my 3rd year so I missed out on at least 2 or 3 thousand dollars, perhaps more. But my university is publicly funded, like many other universities in Ontario, so that probably has a lot to do with that bursary program.

Also, the government of Ontario offers a student loan program, and depending on your income you can qualify for a grant, in addition to the loan, which never has to be repaid.
