Students in Ontario are finding ways to counter education cutbacks

By Alex Mahar

BELLEVILLE – The Ontario government’s cut backs to OSAP funding this year has students exploring other options.

The advantage that banks have is the lower interest rate attached to the loan. Alex Mahar spoke to students who are exploring new ways to pay for their post-secondary education.
