OSAP assists ful'I-time post -secondary students with govefnmen'-finattced loans and grants • based on need, not on academic achieve - men. N w, starting with the 1975-76 academic year, there will be two new programs. The Ontario Student Loans Plan is de- signed to help students who are ineligible" for aid from OSAP. It will benefit part-time students,some students enrolled in up- grading programs, and those taking pro- grams which are shorter, or have different entry standards than required by . OSAP regulations. ,The Ontario Special Bursary Program gives non -repayable grants to people in serious financial need, particularly those who can improve their financial situation by taking one or more courses.
