I'm living with my girlfriend and we don't have any written rental agree...
ok, I get it, school is expensive, but is it just expensive compared to the panacea of Wynn's "free tuition" of 2017-2109? I know that things have changed significantly when Ford introduced the new OSAP rules. What I am interested to know, is how are the new rules different from BEFORE Wyn...
Hey Ontario RFD's, I recently received a notice on my OSAP requiring me to confirm my income and assets on my application.

The affidavit was submitted on 20th March and was sent to the ministry on 26th March (as told by the financial aid officer). This morning, I got a message on my osap account this ...

Hi everyone, Here is my life story: I went to college for 1 year and decided to switch to an out of town University (lived on campus).

Hello everybody I am expecting OSAP funding this term and let say I am also applying for OGS. If I get accepted by OGS (big if) how much would that drop my OSAP "grant" section? Meaning if my grant OSAP was x and OGS will be y, will my new OSAP grant become x-y right away? Doesn't seem rig...

Hi guys, Anyone know how the OSOG works? I have my final osap balance and it's nearly $35,000 for four years of study. I took $1000 of osap for one summer course, but the remaining $34,000 is for the regular four year, fall/winter university schedule. If I'm not mistaken, isn't the OSOG supposed to ...

Hello everyone, So I've already had several issues with OSAP and I'm needing some help from anyone whose maybe experienced these problems.

Hello there. I have a quick question for you all. I am a grade 12 student who will be starting my first year at Queen's University in September, and lucky for me I was offered a specially priced double occupancy room. Basically, this means instead of paying 13K for residence, I'll be paying 6.7K for...
In year 1 of my grad degree, 2015, I reported my income but I never updated it after applying in March(ish). Unfortunately, I worked April - July and made good money that wasn't accounted for.
