University and college education just got more affordable for students that come from low income families.
Starting in the 2017-2018 school year, tuition will be free for students that come from families who make an income of less than $50,000.
Students from middle class families will also see a break on school fees. More than 50 per cent of students from families that make less than $83,000 will receive non-repayable grants in excess of average tuition.
The Liberals are replacing the old system of loans and grants with a new program called “The New Ontario Student Grant.”
Under the new grant program a student is eligible for $15,000 in total assistance.
