He said, "It's a terrible budget. This isn't an economic document., It's a poiitieal document." School., students anticipating 1 post -secondary education will be pleased to know that the Ministry of Colleges and Universities will, ' make available to students in the 1975-76 academic " year more financial assistance, including ' two, new. student ,assistance ti programs. The new programs are the Ontario Student Loans Plan, which is intended to help many of the students ineligible for aid from'` the Federal Govern- ment's Canada Students Loan Plan, and the Ontario Special Bursary Program, which will provide up to '$500,000 to help the most needy part-time students. Ontario Student Assistance Program provides assistance to full-time post -secondary students who are unable to pay the full costs of their education and related expenses. About two out of every five students in Ontario receive financial aid from this program. Over ..a normals academic year students— etigible for assistance receive the first. $800.00 as a loan under the Federal Government's Canada Studerts.>:Loan--.Plan,which is administered through OSAP in Ontario. Students who qualify for b additional,, assistance received it from the Province in the form. of, a non -repayable grant. Board and lodging allowance • for students receiving aid from OSAP and living away from home will be increased from $32.00 to $40.00 per week; the allowance for miscellaneous expenses, which was increased from' $9.80.to 11.50 per week in the current year will remain at $11.50; and local transportation allowances" will, be.-increased,to $3.00and $6.00 per week depending on how far'‘ the student lives from'campus. The allowances in the current year are $2.50 arid $5.00. These changes ,bring total living allowances to $54.50 or $57.50 per week.. The Ontario Student Loans Plan will benefit people such as part-time students, students taking certain up -grading programs and students who are ineligible for Canada Student Loans because the length or entry >requirexnents of their programs do not meet Federal regulations. The program will provide loans of up to $1,400.00 over .a normal academic year, to a maximum of $4;000.00. The terms and conditions of the loans are expected to be similar to those of the Canada, Student . Loans Plan under which no repayment is required and the' loans"are interest free •until six months after the conclusion of studies. The new Ontario Special Bursary program will aid people in serious financial need who may be able to improve their financial . situation by taking one' or more post- secondary courses. Applicants to the program must be receiving social assistance, be unemployed or have a low family income. People eligible for assistance • will receive funds to cover, the costs of their tuition, other compulsory fes, books and equipment. They may also receive an additional allowance of up to $125.00 per term to help meet exceptional costs such as baby sitting, .day-care or unusual transportation ex- penses.
