[vacitah]

i just got an email from osap saying there were some changes to my application but now i do not understand it

so my question is how much money do i get in september and in jan

[Jabb]

also wanna know this.

[PrimoTurbo]

I checked mine here is what I think.

You will get at least $2687 after Sept. 6th, you will also get Queen Elizabeth Scholarship after start of study period which is sometime in September/Oct. So another $2684. Total = $5371 released in beginning of school year.

$1715 will be after Jan 01.

I think this is right.

[djpr]

It works out like this: You get 2,700 in Sept. 1715 at Sept.

[greenapples]

Released to date means that it has been released, which is the portion that you will receive in September. That's the loan part.

Add Millenium Access Grant and Queen Elizabeth together, and that's what you get in January.


Usually, the portion that they want you to receive in September, you have to sign some papers that will prove that you are a student of whichever school. In January, that portion will probably be mailed to you.

What is the Millenium/Ontario Access Grant and what is it based on I recieved about 1000$ for that, also how do I apply for the Queen Elizabeth II and the Millenium bursary? or any other bursaries.

Ontario Access Grant is pretty much free money the gov't is throwing at you for doing further education. THe Queen elizabeth deadline already passed, I think it was june 19. I don't understand why people don't sign up for it, all it is, is a checkmark, and even if you dont get it, you could always sign up for the guaranteed $100 merit scholarship.

so what are the conditions for the ontario access grant. I called york and they said they believe its if your in your second year. Really Im in my first but taking Introduction to Ethics 2000 series but I think I may drop it so that I go from 30 credits to 27 credits. So if I drop it I wont loose the grant will I?

You don't have to pay back the grants?

[wushudrew]

after a certain date in september, the first part of your funding (whatever is specified in the table) will be released. this means that after that date, you can go into your registrar's office (or whatever office) and sign your loan documents to obtain the loan cheque. youll probably have to do the same thing again when the second part of your loan is released in january. the chart is pretty idiot-proof.

the aiming for the top scholarship is credited to your tuition. this means that you wont receive a cheque for the money; itll just be subtracted from your amount owing instead. you dont apply for this yourself; youre automatically considered for it if you apply for OSAP. if you get the millenium bursary (another no-application deal), then a cheque is sent to your registrars office.

grants dont have to be payed back.

They might be splitting that Reaching for the Top scholarship between the two terms, since there's a rule that says if the scolarship is over a certain amount (I dont remember what the amount is) they will do so.

what is this guaranteed $100 merit scholarship?

[civ@uw]

If you applied for the Reaching for the Top scholarship (which amounts to checkmarking a couple of boxes) you will receive at least $100.

I should add that as long as you keep up an 80% GPA, you will get that amount renewed each year.

[xeodragon]

oic, does it show on ur osap page (like the one the OP displayed)?

but what happens if all of the tution is paid up in full

[akademiks]

gay OSAP gave me no money whatsoever.

[dalinxz]

but what happens if all of the tution is paid up in full

if osap still gave you money, i believe the rest is sent to your bank account or you go to the financial aid office and they give you the rest in a check or something.

[wushudrew]

if youve paid all your tuition before the cheque/credit for a scholarship/bursary comes in, then you get a cheque from the university for that amount.

your parents must be very very wealthy then. or maybe youre making a laod of money over the summer, who knows.

[jonawesome]

You either applied too late to be considered for at least aiming for the top, or your marks a ******, or you're loaded.


Doesnt sound all that gay to me. You could have done something about the first 2 reasons. But I guess if yours is the last one, then yeah, it is ****** to be loaded.

[JEDI-MASTER]

I didn't get any grants/scholarship (Free money) the first 2 years :( , I m getting a grant this year for just about 1000.

My question is, if I drop my load ( one course ) but still remain full time student, do they take reduce money from my access grant or the loan money (I m suppose to get both for the winter term)?

after you send in your signature sheet, then after school starts you have to go pick it up, and then 7 days it will be deposited in your bank.

you have to wait till the offcial first day, or else the Financial office wont let you pick it up, for the first 2 weeks there will be HUGE lineups though...

[greg123]

congrats on the scholarship+grants though! :)

not only did i not get a scholarship well small amount, they say i wont get the Access grant until they review my income in late fall

"Before your eligibility for this grant can be determined, the ministry must first verify all income provided on your OSAP application with Canada Revenue Agency. If the income you (and your spouse or parent(s), if applicable) reported on your OSAP application is different from the amounts provided by CRA, your loan eligibility will be reassessed. As a result, the amount of loan you are entitled to may change, which may also affect your eligibility for this grant.

The verfication of income starts in late fall 2006. Please check back after this time for information about your eligibility for this grant. "
