Student Access Guarantee
What is the Student Access Guarantee?
The Student Access Guarantee (SAG) is a commitment between Lakehead University and the Ontario Government. Lakehead will help to cover any additional educational costs (tuition, books, supplies) above a pre-determined provincial average. If you are in a first-degree entry program and have applied to receive Ontario Student Assistance Program funding (OSAP), you may qualify. Lakehead University will automatically assess your eligibility and provide any funds to help in your success by February.
What types of funding qualify for the Student Access Guarantee?
Students may receive SAG in the following forms:
- Bursaries
- Scholarships
- Work-study programs
Notice to Second Degree Undergraduate Students
Students enrolled in the Two-Year Bachelor of Education Professional Program/One-Year Bachelor of Education (Professional Year), the One-Year Honours Bachelor of Social Work and Faculty of Law students may encounter higher costs than anticipated due to the program costs and/or additional travel and placements.
As part of Ontario's Student Access Guarantee commitment, students in these programs are eligible to apply for the financial resources they need to succeed in their professional year.
