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.

For decades, universities have had to do more with less. We're calling on the province of Ontario to help universities do more with more—and it starts with strong, stable funding. Read our 2026 pre-budget submission: tinyurl.com/y42k7444

What are LUFA's priorities for a fair deal?

(1) Pensions, (2) Compensation, and (3) Workload

LUFA members want a deal that improves supports for students, boosts morale, and attracts and retain talent.
