$385M and a Questionable System: Unpacking the OSAP Enigma Recent data on Ontario's student financial assistance program, OSAP, has highlighted disturbing trends in the private career college sector.
A staggering $385 million was allocated to students at seven of these institutions last year, far exceeding amounts given to publicly funded colleges and universities.
The numbers are striking: some schools experienced a significant increase in OSAP recipients, with The Academy of Learning's Bay Street location seeing a jump from 996 to 7,435 between 2021 22 and 2024 25.
