Quest University has announced that starting Fall 2022, students who are Canadian citizens and permanent residents will have their tuition adjusted from $35,000 to $21,000.
Those receiving Quest Financial Aid will also have their individual award amounts (scholarship, award and bursary) proportionally adjusted.
By providing a lower tuition for Canadian students, the unique value of a Quest education is more financially competitive with other universities in Canada. In fact, the 40% reduction was the deepest tuition drop among private institutions in Canada, the university said.
“We looked at a number of factors as we examined our tuition rates: affordability, the Sea-to-Sky community that we live and work in, and, of course, financial impacts of the pandemic,” said George Iwama, president of Quest University.
“We want to make a Quest education more accessible to Canada’s next generation of leaders, and we are pleased to unveil this new tuition structure.”
Prospective students are encouraged to book meetings with university admissions counsellors to learn more about Quest’s innovative educational program, review funding opportunities, government loan programs and application procedures.
“I am very pleased to be part of an institution that prioritizes student learning,” said Iwama.
“Quest’s unique approach in offering a single degree, the Bachelor of Arts and Sciences, where students design their own educational route based upon their interests and focus on learning through the Block Plan makes it an innovative and important part of higher education in Canada. I am excited that we can make this opportunity more accessible to Canadian students,” he said.

This is great news for BC (and Canadian) students. I know the quality of the education is extraordinary at Quest, but tuition caused so many to walk away before actually enrolling. Good job Quest!
