On February 12, 2026, Doug Ford's government announced a plan to lift the tuition freeze, allow tuition increases, and make major changes to OSAP. While the sector needs more support, these changes aren't fiscal responsibility; they’re restricting access to post-secondary education. As students struggle, Doug Ford is making it more expensive to go to College or University, leaving students behind yet again. 

Sign our petition and join the OYL in our fight against these cuts. 

To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:

WHEREAS 

The Minister of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security and the Minister of Finance announced major changes to the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP), changing the loan minimum to 75% and lowering the grant maximum to 25%. 

WHEREAS 

This change will negatively affect Ontario post-secondary students who are receiving or may need to receive OSAP. At a time when young people across the province are struggling with rising unemployment, cost of living, and housing challenges, this change hurts young Ontarians by burdening them with more debt. 

BE IT RESOLVED

That the government will reverse course and return OSAP to its previous state of 85% maximum grants and 15% minimum loans.
