I wish to applaud the Government of Ontario for making some important changes to the student assistance program through Budget 2016. The result will be a more progressive system of financial aid for Ontario students and their families.

Changes to the Ontario Student Assistance Program and the introduction of the Ontario Student Grant will mean easier access to financial aid and more grants for the students who need it most.

In the coming days we will look closely at other aspects of the budget. Queen’s looks forward to working closely with the government on the implementation of the changes to student assistance over the coming months.
