Loans - Ontario Agricultural College
Students enrolled in programs of the Ontario Agricultural College who are in need of financial assistance, may make application to the Associate Registrar, Student Financial Services for a loan from one of the below-mentioned funds. Loans may be interest free until the maturity date (not later than 6 months following completion of the academic year in which the loan is received). Interest will be charged on any balance which remains outstanding beyond the maturity date, at the rate of interest in effect for the year in which the loan is made. The rate will be established at the time the loan is issued and will agree with the Canadian Chartered Banks' prime lending rate in effect at that time. O.A.C. students should also check the availability of bursaries for which they may be eligible in the awards section for each degree program.
