Can I use my "allotment funds" for Nanaimo Science programs?

Yes!  Most schools have Student Learning Resource Fund (SLRF) or allotment limits per semester, programs would qualify for your Winter 2023 semester.  You can also pay by credit card or e-transfer if you wish to pay for programs out of pocket.  Please note that if funds are not available for your student, families will be responsible for any costs incurred.
