George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.
Your Education Plans May Have Changed. Your Goals Haven't.
If your private career college has closed, suspended operations, stopped accepting students, or been affected by recent OSAP-related disruptions, George Brown can help you explore your next educational pathway.
We encourage students to:
- Apply for OSAP early, even before receiving an offer of admission from a new institution.
- Complete an OSAP application to determine eligibility for grants/ loans
- Explore available awards and scholarships that may provide additional funding support.
- Plan ahead to ensure a smooth transition to your next educational opportunity.
