RE: Important Update on Ontario Work Study Program
As part of Budget 2012, provincial funding for the Ontario Work Study program was eliminated. We regret the Government's decision to discontinue financial support for this program and are now working through the implications for the future of the program at the University.
In the short-term, units that have submitted summer work study positions are advised that not all requests will be approved. Units may also wish to reconsider their plans in the knowledge that approved requests may require contributions of up to half of the salary costs at the local level. The Financial Aid and Awards office will be in touch with requesting units shortly concerning how they may amend their submissions.
