Financial Assistance

It is difficult to pay for a post secondary education. There are scholarships, loans, and bursaries to help you pay for school.

Your university or college will have financial programs. Talk your bank about student loans to pay for school.

In our province, we have the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP). This is a government loan that is paid back when you finish school.

Start to plan early to pay for your child’s education. The Canada Education Savings Grant and Canada Learning Bond will help you save money. You need a social insurance card and a Registered Education Saving Plan (RESP) to use these programs.
