cambrian college

Cambrian College is among 24 Ontario community colleges calling on the province to expand eligibility for low-income students to access the 30% Off Ontario Tuition Grant program.

President Bill Best says 85% of Cambrian graduates get jobs in their fields within six months of graduation meaning the college is a valuable workforce developer.

Right now the program is only available for students who have graduated from high school within the past four years.

But, Best says many college students enroll after spending time in the workforce or in other post-secondary studies.
