This is simply not fair. Everyone willing deserves a right to further their education. They tell us to stay in school yet make it nearly impossible then wonder why people get stuck in retail jobs forever or no job? The system is failing terribly. I don't know how familiar non Ontarians are with our student loan service (OSAP) but it can be great for some and not so great for others. In this case of course it is the latter. This is Priscilla's story. For as long as she can remember she has known she wanted to further her education in makeup art and design, making her god given talent a life long career. Being on her own with barely any income she of course applied for OSAP to help with tuition and student kit cost... unfortunately OSAP is only willing to give her half of the over $24,000 she needs before the official start date of school. The school keeps telling her to get a student line of credit to make up for what she doesn't have.. great suggestion except she has tried multiple times and keeps getting rejected. Unfortunately life isn't always perfect. Not everyone has 100% financially stable people or family in their lives to make things happen for them. This is the case here. Earlier on we were told people that come from a household making less than $50,000 would be eligible for fully covered tuition. Again not the case.. for myself my tuition was not fully covered, I still have loans to pay back and me myself wasn't making not even $15,000 a year working full time. Prisiclla makes even less and has had so many things come up that hindered her from saving for school. Before I keep talking I just encourage you all to please click the link and read her story. If you cannot donate please at least share. And don't think any donation amount is too little! Every bit is appreciated!
