About 5,000 More Students Eligible for Support
Ontario is helping about 5,000 more students with the cost of postsecondary education by expanding eligibility for the
30% Off Ontario Tuition Grant.
Students in their final year of a five-year co-op program and students attending private career colleges and other private post-secondary institutions that are eligible for financial aid through the Ontario Student Assistance Program (
OSAP) will now be eligible for the 30% Off Ontario Tuition Grant. Students who apply for aid through
OSAP will automatically be considered for the grant without a separate application, including those who have already applied this year.
Helping students with the costs of post-secondary education is part of the Ontario government's economic plan to invest in people, build modern infrastructure and support a dynamic and innovative business climate.
