Current Students

Am I Eligible?

• You are a Canadian Citizen/Permanent Resident
• You have applied and have your assessment for OSAP or an out of province loan funding prior to applying for a Fall Winter work study approval. (You must report the assessment amount from OSAP/out of province loan on the work study application as a resource even if you do not plan on using the loan.) 
• If you are a Ontario resident apply for OSAP here
• If you are a resident from another province, apply for your provincial student loan here
• You are returning to Ryerson as a Full time Undergraduate degree student during this school year.
• You are enrolled in a minimum of 3 billing units in both the Fall and Winter term (2 billing units/term for students with a disability).
• You have a Clear academic standing and cumulative GPA 1.67 or better
• Your Fee costs in 2013/14 are more than $2762 per term ($3267 per term for coop programs) or book costs are more than $561/term. Not sure of your costs? - check program costs now
• You demonstrate an unmet need of at least $100. (We will calculate your unmet need based on the financial information you enter on the budget section of the application. This section allows a student to report their living costs and resources while in school. You will be able to preview your unmet need before you submit your application)

IMPORTANT: The $100 unmet need threshold does not mean the value of your OSAP or provincial loan amount. Students must apply for OSAP or provincial funding and report their assessment amount even it is $0.

Students are not required or expected to take the student loan, but for purposes of the work study assessment the assessment amount must be reported as a resource. The Assessment amount reported should include all loans and grant amounts.
