ETOBICOKE, Ontario \u2013 For generations, Canadian parents told their children a similar story: if you want a good job, stay in school. Young Canadians took this message to heart. Unfortunately, for too many Canadians rising costs have made post-secondary education less affordable. Fewer people are able to save enough for their education which prevents them from acquiring the learning and skills they need to get a good job and join the middle class. That\u2019s why the Government of Canada is making a significant change to student financial assistance that will help students returning to class this fall on campuses across the country.<\/p>\n

Today, the Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science, was at Humber College to announce increases to Canada Student Grants and changes to the Repayment Assistance Plan on behalf of the Honourable MaryAnn Mihychuk, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour.<\/p>\n

On August 1, in time for the 2016\u201317 school year, Canada Student Grant amounts increased by 50 percent; from $2,000 to $3,000 per year for full-time students from low-income families; from $800 to $1,200 per year for students from middle-income families; and from $1,200 to $1,800 per year for part-time students from low-income families. These increases will help over 270,000 students in Ontario alone. As a result of these enhancements, when combined with provincial student grants, the average full-time undergraduate student from a low-income family in Ontario could receive up to ,000 in grants.<\/p>\n

Additionally, beginning November 1, the Government of Canada will ease the rules on its Repayment Assistance Plan by ensuring that no single borrower will be required to make any repayment until he or she is earning at least $25,000 per year.<\/p>\n

Taken together, these enrichments will help Canada\u2019s students by relieving the high cost of a post-secondary education so they may equip themselves with education and skills they need to join a strong, healthy and vibrant middle class.<\/p>\n

To complement the changes to Canada Student Grants, the Government of Canada is also making historic investments in the spaces where students learn, experiment and achieve through the Post-Secondary Institutions Strategic Investment Fund. Today, Minister Duncan also announced more than $21 million for Humber College in support of two sustainable infrastructure projects that will enable students to create energy-efficient living environments and will retrofit buildings on campus so they use less energy. The Province of Ontario will contribute an additional $3.3 million and Humber College will add more than $39 million bringing the total investment to $64.55 million. In this way, the Strategic Investment Fund will jump-start a virtuous circle of discovery and innovation, creating the right conditions for long-term growth that will yield benefits for generations to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy providing significant financial assistance to students and investing in the spaces where students learn, our government is building a brighter future for all Canadians.<\/p>\n

When students, such as those attending Humber College, can afford their education, they will be able to gain the kind of education and experience they need to contribute to strengthening our economy and our community,\u201d said the Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science.<\/p>\n

\u201cEducation is the key to future success and prosperity. Our investments are making post-secondary education more affordable and more accessible for more students. It\u2019s going to help grow the Canadian middle class and help Canadians get the skills and experience they need for good jobs,\u201d said the Honourable MaryAnn Mihychuk, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour<\/p>\n

The targeted, short-term investments under the Post-Secondary Institutions Strategic Investment Fund will promote economic activity across Canada and help Canada\u2019s universities and colleges develop highly skilled workers, act as engines of discovery, and collaborate on innovations that help Canadian companies compete and grow internationally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
