'I am losing 100 percent of my OSAP funding, and this will require me to pay back my loans from last year, starting in July.” ONpoli
“OSAP” started trending on Twitter this month when students applying for their grants and loans realized the very real consequences of Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s widespread cuts to education—which so far have run the gamut from public school teaching positions to post-secondary tuition.
I am receiving HALF the amount of #OSAP funding that I received last year. I'm nearly in tears, as I worry about being able to afford school this year. So thank you @fordnation for making it nearly impossible to go to school and shaping our future for the worse. pic.twitter.com/5N8hJPu1k0As for whether schools themselves will make up any of the defecit via bursaries and financial aid, there haven’t been any clear statements or announcements.
Daniel Je, a content analyst from OneClass, an online resource for university and college students, believes that universities will start giving preference to international students with higher tuition rates. “International students pay 3.9 times more than domestic students for tuition, and the demand for an Ontario education has increased,” Je says. “[So universities] will look to increase international tuition and international enrolment in response to this.
How will you pay for school this coming year? “To cover school costs this year, I will be working a summer full-time job, followed by a part-time job. I am also hoping to get some bursaries but that’s not certain due to more students applying to them this year.”How much OSAP are you losing? “Approximately $3,000—all of it coming from grants. I typically receive approximately $9,400 from OSAP . Now I will be receiving a total of $6,700 .
