FINANCIAL AID
YOU CAN AFFORD THIS
Postsecondary education is an investment in your future.
We know that making ends meet can be tough when
you're a student. That's why we offer a variety of services
and supports to help you pay your way to the finish line.

Student line of credit
Did you know that most banks will offer
you a student loan? Contact yours to learn about
options, procedures and deadlines.
OSAP
The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) offers loans and
grants based on your calculated financial need. Apply at
ontario.ca/osap – preferably eight weeks before your program
starts. We can help you with reviews and appeals.
Bursaries
We hand out over $2 million to students who demonstrate
financial need (that doesn't need to be repaid). Specific bursaries
are available (but not limited) to Aboriginal, Métis, and First
Generation students. Apply at GeorgianCollege.ca/bursaries.
Ontario Tuition Grant
If you're applying for OSAP, you'll be automatically considered
for 30 per cent off your tuition. If you're not, apply for this grant
at Ontario.ca/30off.
Budget planning
We can help you build a budget plan, strategize to control your
expenses and investigate borrowing options.
Student-run tax clinic
Every year, our Accounting students offer a
free tax clinic to help you get the most
out of your tax return.
Earn while you learn
Not only do many of our programs offer paid co-op
work experiences, but there are also opportunities for
employment right on campus.
Awards and scholarships
Georgian raises over $1 million annually for awards and
scholarships – and they aren't just for students with high grades.
Apply at GeorgianCollege.ca/awards.
Food Locker
Georgian's student administration collects and
anonymously delivers non-perishable food to
students with financial challenges.
