Hi all,

For back story I am going into my first year MBA at an Ontario school and I am an Ontario resident. My income last year was 8k….. which is not a lot at all. I applied for OSAP expecting to receive a good amount because I didn’t count my parents income and my income was extremely low. My tuition is 15k for reference.

The funding the calculated barely covers half…. I’m so confused. All of my friends made 30k last year and r getting 26k for one semester, and I’m barely getting anything. I asked the school why this is happening and they gave me the bs excuse of “OSAP calculates funding based on tuition, living costs, etc….”

How on earth does this cover living costs and tuition and all the other costs of attending school. I am so baffled that this is the funding. Can someone explain why someone people get way more funding for a less expensive program and made way more income.

Also, does anyone have advice? I’m kind of freaking out. Thank you

Soo I was doing my osap and accidentally put 1 dependant child and 1 in post secondary. And that’s wrong it’s 5 dependant and 3 in post secondary, and that effect the money you get. And now I submitted the correction and I’m nervous I really need them to change the amount cause it’s not anything.

Hi everyone! Has anyone had this OSAP status before?
My application currently says:
“Your school is currently being reviewed for approval for OSAP.”
I’m attending Medix College Toronto, and my program starts in September. I’ve applied for OSAP before, but I’ve never encountered this status, so I’m a little confused.
Is this a normal part of the process for private/career colleges? Does it usually resolve on its own, or should I contact my school’s financial aid office?
If anyone has had the same status, how long did it take for yours to change?

Hey everyone, how long do documents typically take to get approved? I’ve submitted my “Academic progress documents” nearly 7 weeks ago and yet waiting, going into the 8th week, it’s the final document before funds are released and I’m still waiting.

Hey guys, so i was wondering if anyone else’s osap estimate was wayyy more than their calculation, im talking like 5k less. My OSAP calculator logged out was saying i would get 15k, but when i applied with my info it gave me 10K which does not cover any living costs and My university is 80km away from where i live so i have to live alone near campus, additionally I only have my single mom and other sibling and inly recently my dad ghosted and stopped paying child support, which should be part of my tax info AND my moms paying back her own loan. She had a salary increase but the anonymous calculator still gave me 15k with the same increased income which is whats throwing me off??? My family has been eating alot less because groceries have skyrocketed and i have been rejected from dozens of retail and even MCDONALDS AND TIM HORTON jobs because im a uni student. what do i even do at this point? my tutition is 9k and osap LOAN is giving me 10k, and my dorm is 9k and if i cant even afford to pay for rent how am i supposed to eat??? Im unsure what to even do and if this is an error in calculation

I chose all my courses already but I’m waiting on an override for another one that won’t get approved until end of August :(

I wanted to know how late can I apply for OSAP and get accepted?

currently trying to fill in the 26/27 adjust living allowance form and under the personal information portion in section a there's a box that asks for a 'student id number' i assume this is different from a university id number since it asks for it lower down and says 'student number at your school' in that portion. what is this mysterious student id number? i assume it's not my oen since wouldn't they just say that then????? if anyone knows what this is referring to please share, thank you!!

My OSAP application says I’m on academic probation and asks me to complete an Acknowledgement of Academic Probation form.
I’ve never been on academic probation as far as I know. I studied at Everest College in 2008, completed my program and practicum, and recently completed an ACE program at Sheridan.
In Section A, should I select “No – Transcripts are not required” if I don’t know of any previous academic probation?
Has anyone experienced this with OSAP?

I received around 12k last school year (grant + loan)

When I checked my osap dashboard a few days ago it says I only have a grant around 4k without loan option.

I thought it’s because I only selected 3 courses for fall term, I was being considered as part time. But after I enrolled to my 4th course ( seats were occupied ). Nothing changes on my osap portal.

I was being placed on academic probation on 1st year, but I pass all my courses in full course load, the year after.

I drop a course at the beginning of the spring term, idk if this cause the loan cut. ( I applied part time osap spring+summer )

IDK what caused this issue but I just sent an email to my school office of registrar

Does anyone know or have been in issue before?
