Ontario is the best place in Canada to get a
higher education. Why? First, the range and
diversity of programs our institutions offer.
Second, the Ontario Government programs
that help students finance their education.
Already, 2 out of 5 students at Ontario
colleges and universities are receiving
financial aid through the Ontario Student
Assistance Program (OSAP). OSAP assists
full-time post-secondary students with
government-financed loans and grants
Today, higher education is more
important than ever before.
This is what Ontario is doing
to help make it available
to everyone.

based on need, not on academic achieve-
ment.
Now, 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. It's designed
for part-time students who receive social
assistance, are unemployed, or who have a
low family income.
If you would like to know what financial
assistance is available to you, and how to
apply for it, contact the Student Awards
Officer at the institution of your choice. Or
