Sault College President Dr. Ron Common says improved access to college education is one of the clear priorities in the budget.  A key component in the new budget is an Ontario student grant that would pay for college or university tuition for students whose family incomes are 50-thousand dollars or less…

Dr. Common says the budget also provides an important investment of 20-million dollars over 3-years for college-based applied research projects.

Dr. Common says accessing that grant funding has been difficult for Colleges to obtain in the past.
