Am I Eligible for Summer work study?

• You are a Canadian Citizen/Permanent Resident
• You applied and have your assessment for OSAP or an out of province loan funding  rom 2012-2013  (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.) 
• You were enrolled in a minimum of 3 billing units each in Fall 2012 and Winter 2013 (2 billing units/term for students with a disability).
• You have a Clear academic standing and cumulative GPA 2.0 or better
• Your Fee costs in 2012/13 are more than $2682 per term ($3172 per term for coop programs) or book costs are more than $553/term. Not sure of your costs? - check program costs now
• You will be returning for full time studies in the Fall 2013 and Winter 2014 terms
• 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 work study 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 pertain to 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 must have applied for OSAP or a provincial loan in 2012-13, however for students who applied for OSAP and were denied funding due to a ministry restriction, you may use the OSAP estimator here and report the estimated assessment amount on your work study application.

Please be aware that missing the deadline to apply for 2012-13 OSAP is not a restriction.
