OSAP: Ontario Student Assistance Program: Applications are now OPEN! 

The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a financial aid program that can help you pay for college or university.

OSAP offers funding through:

• grants: money you don’t have to pay back

• a student loan: money you need to repay once you’re done school

When you apply for OSAP, they automatically consider you for both grants and a loan. If you don’t want to take a loan, and you’re a full-time or part-time student, you can decline it after your application is approved.

Please see the Link for more information.

NEED HELP APPLYING TO COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY?  See our University and College pages that show the steps.

BUT.....

Guidance will be available during lunches or student's who have spares this week only (Dec. 11-15). This is for students who are having issues or really need help with online issues (most students should be able to apply easily without assistance!)

Remember that you should first check out the universities/colleges and programs you are interested in so that it will be easier to choose them on the applications pages.

Also remember that your application does NOT COUNT until you pay the fee and press submit.

We can't help with that part so you need a credit card/parent help for that step.
