LUSU Weighs In On OSAP Extension

The President of the Lakehead University Student Union is panning the latest step by the McGuinty Government to improve the finances of students.  Post-secondary graduates who take their first job in the not for profit sector will have their OSAP loan grace period extended.  The OSAP grace period will go from six months to one year for grads who work with a registered charity for at least 30 hours per week.   LUSU President Emma Brightwell says students can't afford to work at not for profit organizations.
