 OSSTF provides financial assistance to members who are pursuing further education through a variety of grants.

In addition, bursaries are available by lottery for members with a child or ward who has applied to enter a publicly-funded post-secondary college, university or apprenticeship program. An application form is available on the OSSTF website.

The deadline to apply for a family bursary is April 15 each year.
