"There has been some changes announced to OSAP and how students might be funding their education," said Fowler. "So we are hosting two OSAP and financial aid info sessions to really help students get the answers to the questions that they have about OSAP and other changes, and also other financing opportunities. Whether it be scholarships, bursaries or on-campus employment, our financial aid specialists will be able to answer all those questions and really make sure students are aware that going to school is still financially feasible."
