OSAP and Government Funding Programs
OSAP is based on financial need as determined through an assessment of your application. Educational costs and the resources OSAP expects you (and your family, if applicable) to contribute, are taken into consideration.
Planning Ahead
Keep in mind it is not the purpose of OSAP to supply all the assistance you may need to meet your educational and living costs. OSAP is there to supplement, not replace, the financial resources that you (and your family, if applicable) are expected to contribute.
