Ontario Government statement on new Textbook and Technology Grant

August 27, 2008

Last week, I pointed out that the Ontario government had no information available on it’s new Textbook and Technology Grant.

Yesterday, the government posted a statement on the OSAP website.

While the government is still refusing to provide basic information, at least they are saying something. What’s interesting in the statement is that the government says an application form will be available at somepoint in September. This leads me to believe they haven’t created this form yet.

I’ll keep my eye on this story and update you when I get any information.
