Today’s Dynamic • As the day progresses, you’ll hear less and less from the podium … and have more and more time for team discussion and planning. • Most of the discussion and planning time is intended for school triads, with some opportunities for sharing across schools at each table. • Broader sharing will happen after-the-fact via summaries of your input to Google FORMS throughout the day.
Learning Goals By the end of today’s session, I will: ● Appreciate the timeliness and importance of this deeper conversation; ● Understand the transformation of OSAP; ● Have a deeper understanding of our school’s education and career/life planning program.

What’s the goal of the “deeper conversation”? Today, we begin a deep conversation designed to create a culture within schools and districts where all students value education and career/life planning and where all educators see themselves as important contributors to their school`s comprehensive education and career/life planning program`.

The New OSAP Reform of Ontario’s Financial Aid System
What is OSAP? OSAP includes: • Grants, bursaries and scholarships = non-repayable aid (students keep) • Loans = repayable aid (students pay back) Grants Loans
Who is eligible for OSAP? To be eligible for OSAP, students must be: ● A Canadian citizen, permanent resident or protected person ● An Ontario resident ● Currently attending or entering an OSAP-approved program and school ● Currently enrolled in or entering a certificate, degree or diploma program
Can students receive OSAP if they study outside of Ontario? Yes, students can receive OSAP if they enroll in a public college or university program outside of Ontario. If they want to study outside of Canada , students can still be eligible to receive partial OSAP funding.
OSAP aid depends on a student’s unique circumstances. Financial Financial Educational Need Contribution Costs Books Students Tuition Parents Living expenses Scholarships and bursaries
Limitations of the former system Number and complexity of grants are not well understood, and can be confusing to students. Many low-income students are disadvantaged because they are more likely to enroll in low- cost programs, which resulted in a larger proportion of OSAP aid as loans. Mature learners , and those with children, are not sufficiently supported with non-repayable grants and help with tuition costs. Parental contribution requirements toward the costs of a student’s education are high for middle-income families in Ontario. ‘Net’ tuition is largely unknown to students.
The new OSAP will make postsecondary education more accessible and affordable for all students. No provincial student debt for students from families with annual income of $50,000 or less Increased clarity and transparency about the out-of-pocket cost of tuition Increased grants for mature and sole support students Improved ability to contain student debt by redirecting increased tax revenue to up-front grants
How much can students receive from OSAP? Students and parents can go to ontario.ca/osap to find out how much they can get in OSAP loans and grants.
More generous OSAP assistance. Ontario’s maximum OSAP assistance levels will be increased. $160/week $180/week for single students $360/week $450/week for married and sole support students Canada provides $210/week for all student types. Maximum OSAP Assistance Levels 2016-17 2017-18 34-week 34-week Weekly Weekly program program Single students $370 $12,580 $390 $13,260 Married / sole support $570 $19,380 $660 $22,440 students *Amounts based on both federal and provincial aid.
Tens of thousands of students will get free tuition starting fall 2017. Free tuition = grants from OSAP that exceed the cost of average tuition More than 4 out of 5 OSAP Nearly 85% of Students from 210,000 middle and higher students with OSAP students students will family incomes will receive income families receive free below $90,000 more grants may also receive average tuition will receive free more generous average tuition grants and loans OSAP grants will be focused on offsetting the cost of tuition first. Students, and their families, should have a clear understanding of how much tuition actually costs when non-repayable aid is taken into account.
Net tuition “Net tuition” is applying students OSAP non-repayable aid and institutional aid, if applicable, against their tuition fees. Tuition OSAP grants Net tuition $6,000 $9,000 $0
Manage financial assistance anywhere, anytime, on any device. Ontario is redesigning OSAP for the digital age, making it faster, and easier to use, so that students can apply, check their status and manage their financial assistance anywhere, anytime, on any device. Mobile Tablet Desktop

In school teams ... 1. What does the transformation of OSAP mean for our students? 2. Where / how might this information be available to ensure that it is seen, heard and understood by students with special education needs as well as those who are discouraged and disengaged? http://tinyurl.com/OSAPTransformation
The Transformation of OSAP • Emphasis on upfront grants … before loans • Reducing (or eliminating) the debt-burden • Extended to include “adults”, with no wait period after leaving high school
Why is it important that the transformation of OSAP happens now?
