NDP set to axe OSAP grants

by Helen ZappoUno

College and university students can say goodbye to Ontario government grants and hello to a tuition hike. Richard Allen, Minister of Colleges and Universities announced Thursday that the current Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) will be changed in order to control the province's $9.9 billion deficit. The OSAP program will no longer offer grants, only loans. The change will save the NDP government money. Last year^ the government spent $241 million on the grant program. The OSAP change will be effective as of July, 1993. Tuition fees will rise by seven per cent for the second year in a row. For students, this translates into an extra $60 next September. "The changes will benefit some groups - single parents, married students with spouses ANDREW FRATEPIETRO earning low incomes, and students with disabil- Last Thursday night, a sexual assault allegedly occurred at the Centennial Park Pool near Eglinton ities." said Pat Scrase, Humber's fmancial aid and Renforth.
