OSAP Grant Reductions Increase Financial Burden for Ontario Students

Recent changes to provincial student aid are forcing families to weigh higher costs as they navigate university options.

High school students and parents attending the Ontario Universities' Fair at the Toronto Metro Convention Centre are facing a more expensive landscape for higher education due to recent adjustments to the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP).

As CBC Toronto first reported, changes to OSAP have reduced available grant funding. Because grants do not require repayment, this shift increases the overall cost students must consider when selecting a post-secondary institution.
