Toronto Metropolitan Association of Part-time Students

CALLING ALL STUDENTS! By now you may have heard of the oppressive announcement by the Doug Ford government & Ministry of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security (MCURES) to INCREASE tuition fees while DECREASING OSAP grants. 

Under the new changes to OSAP, non re-payable grants which previously made up as much as 85% dropped to a maximum of 25% while OSAP loans increased to a minimum of 75%. This forces students to take on more debt than ever before. It means more debt, higher costs, more barriers for students who are already struggling with the high cost of living, rent, food, and housing.
 
We’ve seen these attacks before. From the passing of Bill 33 in 2025, to the 2019 cuts to OSAP and the persistent underfunding of post-secondary education - the very cause of the current crisis in the sector. Students continue to bear the burden of provincial failures. But we cannot and will not stop. We will continue to organize and demand for accessible and free education because education is a right, not a privilege.
 
Join students across the province in saying NO to OSAP cuts and tuition fee increases! Tell the Ford Government: Hands Off Our Education! Hands Off Our OSAP! JOIN TMAPS, TMSU & TMGSU
