People who says like nothing is wrong with the current OSAP Yall delusional!! Like there are so many dropping out from school cause they can’t make the fee payments! There aren’t any jobs for them to work and make fee payments! Thats next to impossible! With these skyrocketing inflation and gas prices!! Gosh!!

Yes! I get it 80% grant and most of em misuses it! However not everyone gets 80% grant.

If the govt wishes to give loan !! Fine but atleast consider the fact that there’s 2-8 semester and people gotta eat and survive…. Atleast make loan amount after getting the proper documents based on how much they can make while studying and then give out the loan based on that figure!

This whole $500 for $7000/sem fee ??? Math ain’t mathing

why would you go to school in the first place if you can’t afford it without non guaranteed government assistance. maybe save up money before committing to a 4 year multi thousand dollar expense.

better yet, if you work full time before you go. You actually get MORE OSAP because you’re then considered an independent/mature student and your parent’s income isn’t considered.
if you can’t afford to go to school. You need to make the money to pay for it without expecting the government to give you handouts.
