Dive: Student Aid

In 2019, Medow Consulting developed Dive: Student Aid in partnership with the Leadership Lab at TMU, Sandbox Inc., and Côté & Company Strategies to push the boundaries of digital learning. Dive: Student Aid tells the story of how the Ontario government transformed student financial aid to make post-secondary education free for many students in Canada’s largest province, and what happened next. It lets key political leaders, policymakers, journalists, students, and critics explain the why, what and how of this policy transformation story, allowing the user to assess the impact of the reforms and the legacy of policy change.

Dive: Student Aid has been used in public policy classrooms at the University of Toronto, York University, Carleton University, Humber College and in professional development settings, including with the Institute of Public Administration Canada (IPAC).
