As a strong advocate for increasing needs-based grants since its inception, CASA was extremely pleased to see the introduction of the Canada Student Grant Program. Up-front non-repayable assistance is a key mechanism for helping students with financial need access and afford a post-secondary education. In 2013-2014, over 360,000 students received non-repayable grants as part of their federal student financial aid package.
