Grants available to help students pay for texts
The Ontario government is offering a new, annual grant to help full-time community college and university students pay for textbooks and computer costs. The Textbook and Technology Grant is available to full-time students attending a community college or university in Ontario.
In the 2008-09 academic year, the grant is $150. The annual grant will increase to $300 per year when fully implemented.
To be eligible, students must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada or a protected person. For more details on eligibility, visit ontario.ca/OSAP. Full-time community college and university students who apply for OSAP for 2008-09 will automatically be considered for the grant.
Eligible full-time students not receiving OSAP will need to complete a short online application for the Textbook and Technology Grant. To apply, visit ontario.ca/OSAP.
