OSAP Financial Aid for Post-Secondary Education Workshop (Tuesday April 18th)

Posted On Wednesday April 12, 2017
MPP Tracy MacCharles and Financial Aid Officer Ms. Chris Rocha from Durham College will be at an information session to explain the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) on Tuesday April 18th from 7 - 8 pm in the St. Mary cafeteria. 
 
This session is open for students from Grade 9 to 12 and their parent-guardians. It's never too early to start planning for post-secondary.
 
The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a financial aid program that can make it easier for students and families to go to college or university. 
 
The program offers funding for school through two kinds of money:
- grants: money you don’t have to pay back
- a student loan: money you need to repay
 
Funding is available for both full and part-time postsecondary students, and is based on a number of factors, including your family income. Some students may get their tuition covered by OSAP. For the loan portion, there are also programs to help you repay your student loan once you’re done school. Both the Ontario government and federal government provide this money.
