New OSAP Removing Financial Barriers to College and University

A posting from the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development

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 11. College applications for the fall term should be submitted before February 1. See this related OSAP Postcard.

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.
