Receiving OSAP in spring 2024

When will I receive my spring 2024 OSAP funding?

Student Awards & Financial Aid will automatically confirm your enrolment electronically with the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. Your OSAP funding will be applied to your student account to pay down your fees owing and/or sent directly to you starting in May. This process will continue regularly throughout the term.
