Can you get any grants/financial aid at university when you have a baby?
I’m 17, graduated from high school and 6 months pregnant (due in April), and I’m going to university in September. I live on my own and get no financial support from my parents. Is there a way to get my tuition fees lowered, or get a discount of some sort at the university? I’ve heard that young mothers can get special grants, but I’m not sure how it works. I live in and will be going to school in Ontario, Canada.
hey, apply for osap, and there is a clause that asks how many people you have dependent on you, which basically means if u have kids, or possibly parents you care for, and that will help how much of a loan you can get. also talk to you school about scholarships and bursaries, they are available for people in lots of different situations. oh and possibly look into a joint daycare program with your school, some have that as well, good luck!

All you have to do is look! =) You can get money to go to school for anything these days- And with you being pregnant, i’m sure you’re more qualified than a lot of people! Good luck! And kudos for wanting to go to school, after being pregnant….Most just drop out and say screw it. Check out FASFA!
