Anyone know HOW to apply for this? The website is rather crude on this topic. This is in BC.

You automatically get it if you qualify by applying to OSAP.

OSAP is for Ontario only.

You are automatically considered based on the student loan application. I just filled mine in awhile ago.

Make sure you get the loan application in soon though because for UBC bursary applications...You need the loan application in to be considered. (They suggested June 30, but with the online system, it takes about two days for loan applications to be processed).

When you do fill out the loan application, keep in mind that for both Appendix 1 and your application, you have to print out a form and sign it to mail in. So in total, you end up printing out two forms (they can be mailed together).
