OSAP is Changing, Part 2: Net estimates

July 2017’s OCAD U Insider e-newsletter contained information about the structure and delivery changes to the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP). These changes are aimed at increasing access to post-secondary education for students from low- and middle-income families, by making average tuition for the majority of eligible students (whose parents make a combined household income of less than $50,000 per year), free.
