      History

      The Grants Policy Branch was established in April, 1979, as part of the Planning and Policy Analysis Division of the Ministry of Education. The new Branch consisted of the Architectural Services Section of the former School Business and Finance Branch, and the newly created Education Finance Section. Architects from the disbanded Institutional Accounting and Architectural Services Branch of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities were also transferred to the Architectural Services Section at this time.

      Effective January 1, 1984, the Grants Policy Branch ceased to exist, and was replaced by the School Business and Finance Branch.
