New 30 percent off Ontario Tuition

In the time of recovery from a recession, ever so high tuition, inflation and a weak job market, comes Ontario to help its students. Students can be eligible for a 30% cut this year. Students can save $365 (A dollar a day) if their enrolled in a college diploma or certificate program. University and college degree students can save $800 this term.

So how do you know if you're eligible for this 30% reduction in tuition.

1. First you need to be a "full-time student at a public college or university in Ontario".
2. Second it needs to be "less than four years since you left high school".
3. Third "you're in a program that you can apply to directly from high school".
4. Fourth "your parents' gross income is $160,000 or less".

The students already receiving OSAP will be automatically considered. But what about the students who have been out of high school for longer than 4 years? Why are they being discriminated against? Personally, I think there should be only one requirement of being full-time.  Everyone should get an equal chance and reduction of tuition, even if your parents are making over $160,000 per year. 

If you're eligible and not already receiving OSAP then apply to get your 30% off tuition. Over 90,000 students in Ontario are still yet to apply out of 310,000 for the lack of awareness. 

This extra saving can help you pay for some expenses like rent, books, supplies and much more. This is not money that you will have to give back like OSAP. It is the reduction of the money you paid... so get it back and enjoy the help of the Ontario Government.
