Financial Support for Students Impacted by Private Career College Disruptions

Main Content

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.

For assistance with your funding options, contact a Financial Aid expert at finaid@georgebrown.ca 

Applying early is the best way to understand your eligibility and be well prepared for your studies.
