Some experts are concerned that post-secondary students will have access to less money through the Canada Student Grant (CSG), based on a line item buried in Budget 2025.

"School's going to suck for more students," said Alex Usher, president of Higher Education Strategy Associates (HESA), a consulting firm that analyzed the budget's effect on post-secondary education.

The CSG is a grant for students from low- and middle-income families. All students are automatically assessed for the grant when applying for provincial or territorial student aid.

Usher said he discovered no additional money set aside in future years for the CSG. The government had been setting aside extra funding since 2020 to raise CSG payments from $3,000 to at least $4,200.
