OSAP Information
NEW OSAP REMOVING FINANCIAL BARRIERS TO COLLEGE AND
UNIVERSITY
If
your child is currently in Grade 12, you should know that applications are now
open for college and university programs. The last date for university
applications is January 11th. College applications for the fall term should be
submitted before February 1st.
Your
child may benefit from financial assistance for postsecondary education from
the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP). As part of the most significant
reform of student assistance in North America, the government of Ontario is
removing the financial barriers to attending college or university.
If
your family income is under $50,000, your child’s tuition is covered. Even if
you earn more, the new OSAP is still there to help with generous grants that
will make sending your child to college or university more affordable.
The
Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development has launched a new online
calculator to help students and their families find out quickly and easily
whether they qualify for free tuition or other grants and supports from the
province. We encourage you to find out more at ontario.ca/osap.
