In addition to the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP), there are further options for students with disabilities. Speak to your Accessibility Consultant about potential funding options:
- Bursary for Students with Disabilities (BSWD) - can assist full-time and part-time post-secondary students with the costs of their disability-related educational services and equipment.
- Canada Study Grants for Persons with Permanent Disabilities - you can apply for an additional $2,000/year for any purpose - e.g., rent, food or books.
- Modified tuition fees - are available for students who reduce their course load or extend their program due to their disability. Your Accessibility Consultant can advise whether you are eligible for reduced fees at George Brown College.
- Bursaries for Students in special circumstances
While students with permanent or temporary disabilities are eligible for accommodation and support at George Brown College, students who are receiving OSAP assistance must also meet their eligibility requirements.
To access the Bursary for Students with a Disability or the Canada Study Grants for Persons with Permanent Disabilities, a student must:
- Be eligible for OSAP
- Have a permanent disability
- Provide documentation of their disability
