1. Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP)
Planning your education is an important life decision. How much will your program cost in time, money and effort? What kinds of financial assistance may be available? The objective of student financial assistance is to assist eligible students who do not have the resources to meet the costs of postsecondary education. The intention is to promote equality of opportunity for postsecondary studies by providing financial assistance for educational costs and basic living expenses where students (and their families) do not have the resources to meet these costs.CanLearn:
The only online post-secondary education resource that provides Canadians with the information and services they need to decide what and where to study and how to cover the costs. The CanLearn site was developed by the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada in collaboration with provincial and territorial governments and Canadian learning and career development organizations.
OSAP Access Window:
Provides the approximate costs of your postsecondary education, financial assistance available to help you pay for it, a repayment calculator for estimating monthly loan payments after graduation, and other information to make decisions about postsecondary education.
Canadian Federation of Students:
The Canadian Federation of Students was formed in 1981 to provide students with an effective and united voice, provincially and nationally. At the time, it was recognized that for students to be truly effective in representing their collective interests to the federal and provincial governments, it was vital to unite under one banner.
