Newly released documents show that $385 million in Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) grants was distributed to students attending just seven private career colleges last year. The data reveals that a small subset of these private institutions has driven explosive growth in the volume of individuals receiving financial aid.
In response to the figures, Career Colleges Ontario, the association representing the sector, stated it could not comment on the alleged behaviors of any specific school. However, the organization confirmed that it has previously raised concerns regarding the situation with the provincial government.
