Changes coming to the Ontario student grant and loan program would see tighter eligibility rules and the end of a six-month interest grace period to pay back the borrowed money.
The former Liberal government’s “free tuition” program — lower income students received grants to cover the full tuition cost — will come to an end as students will be expected to contribute a portion either directly or through loans.
However, almost all domestic college and university students would see their tuition drop by 10% this upcoming school year and, in a move called the Student Choice Initiative, be allowed to opt out of many student fees that are now mandatory.
