Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP)
The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a supplemental government assistance funding program. OSAP makes it easier for you to achieve your dream of attending university and college. Did you know that OSAP is not just a loan? You’ll automatically be considered for grants as well as loans. While the loan portion does require you to pay back the money provided to you, grants do not – it‘s free money you can use to offset expenses related to your education.
