Funding resources for students with disabilities

Students who have a permanent disability (PD), or persistent or prolonged disability (PPD) may be considered for additional funding through OSAP such as the Canada Student Grant for Students with Disabilities.

Additional funding may be available through the Ontario Bursary for Students with Disabilities (BSWD) and the Canada Student Grant for Services and Equipment for Students with Disabilities (CSG-DSE) to help eligible full- and part-time students with the costs of eligible disability-related educational services and equipment, such as note-takers, tutors, or assistive technology. Accessibility Services advisors on each campus can provide information and assist with certain applications.

Students receiving financial aid from another province or territory should contact their province or territory to learn more about the disability-related programs that may be available. Visit the URO’s Financial Aid for Students with Disabilities webpage for further details.
