Bar graph made up of stacks of coins to show the current and potential future value of the Canada Student Grant. The first bar shows the current value at $4200 and the second bar shows the potential future value as of August 2026 at $3000.
The Canada Student Grant is currently $4200 but could be cut to $3000 for the next academic year.
College and university students in Canada already struggle with the cost of tuition and day-to-day necessities. This cut would be devastating.
Student support should be increasing, not decreasing.
