The Government of Ontario is launching a new Ontario Learn and Stay Grant in spring 2023 for post-secondary students who enrol in priority programs in priority communities and commit to work in those communities after they graduate. Eligible students who apply for the Ontario Learn and Stay Grant will receive full, upfront funding for tuition, books and other direct educational costs, such as equipment and supplies. In exchange, graduates will commit to live and work in the region where they studied, helping to fill critical roles in priority communities.
For the 2023-24 academic year, the Ontario Learn and Stay Grant will focus on these programs and regions:
• Nursing programs in northern, eastern and southwestern Ontario
• Medical Laboratory Technologist/Medical Laboratory Sciences programs in northern and southwestern Ontario
• Paramedic programs in northern Ontario
Materials to help you learn about the new grant are available for download.
