30 per cent off tuition grant deadline approaching

Don't miss your opportunity to save 30 per cent off tuition!

The Ontario government is once again offering grants to full-time students to help manage the cost of tuition. The 30 per cent off tuition grant provides $1,680 for full-time students in university and college degree programs and $770 for students in college diploma and certificate programs.

Applications are due March 1.

To be eligible for the grant, students must have graduated from high school within the past four years and be in an undergraduate program. Their parents' gross income must be below $160,000 annually.

If you've applied for OSAP you will automatically be considered for the grant. OSAP application deadlines remain the same: for students enrolled in two- or three-term programs, applications are due 90 days before the end of the study period. Students in one-term programs must apply within the first 30 days of their study period.

If you applied last year, you can apply online again at ontario.ca/a824 for the 2012/13 year. Students whose study period ended before January 1, 2013 can no longer apply to receive the grant.
