30% Off Ontario Tuition
 McGuinty Government Making Postsecondary Education More Affordable

Ontario students can now apply to get 30% off the cost of their tuition.

To help keep the cost of postsecondary education affordable the government is taking 30% off the average undergraduate tuition — that will save families $1600 for undergraduate university or college degree students and $730 for college diploma and certificate students this year.

That's a huge savings – and means that eligible students will enjoy the lowest tuition costs in the past 10 years.

More than 300,000 full-time undergraduate students are eligible to receive the new grant this year. Students who already receive OSAP will be automatically considered.

Not receiving OSAP? It’s easy to apply – go to http://www.ontario.ca/30off or call 1-888-449-4478 for more information

The amount of the grant will keep pace with any increased future costs — meaning it will always be 30% off the price of tuition.

Helping Ontario students with the price of tuition is a key part of the McGuinty government’s plan to keep postsecondary education within all families’ reach, while building the best-educated workforce in the world. That leads to a stronger economy, and creates good jobs.
