Improvemelits in student assistance Dr. Harry Parrott, DDS, Minister of (Colleges and Universities, has summiariz- ed improvements in the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) for 1977-78. Students' living allowances under OSAP will1 be increased to $61 a week, up from $57 in the current year. The maxi- mum allowance for books has been increased il per cent, and there are several increas- ed allowances to be used in calculating students' resour- ces for determining loan and grant limits. Dr. Parrott noted that recent improvements in his Ministry's computer systems will allow more efficient processing of OSAP applicat- ions. May 2 is the target date for commencement of pro- cessing 1977-78 OSAP applic- ations. The 1977-78 grants budget for OSAP is $741 million, up $13 million from the current year. Recentlv anno-unced tuition fee increases, the first in five years, will be taken directly into account in calculating the amount, of assistance that students can receive. Traxpayers contribute about 80 per cent of universities' operating revenue and pri- vate sources supply approx- imately another four per cent, leaving the student about 16 per cent of costs to be paid in the form of fees. Similar figures apply to Ontario's system of colleges of applied arts and technology. OSAP provides boans and grants to Ontario post-second- ary students who have insuf- ficient money to pay their living expenses and tuition fees. The amount of assist- ance made avaibable depends on students' educational costs and financial resources. In 1977-78, assistance up to $1,000 will again be provided as a repayable boan guaran- teed by the federal govern- ment under its Canada Stud- ent Loans Plan. Students needing additional assistance will usually receive it in the form of a provincial govern- ment grant. Orono WVeekly Times, Wednesday, Mlarchi 9th, 1977-9 May Eliminmate Need of Hearing.
