Government Student Assistance
Applying
By submitting an OSAP application you will be considered for integrated federal and provincial loan funding. As well, you automatically be assessed for the non-repayable grant programs outlined in the Overview and Available Funding section.
If you are an incoming first year undergraduate student you can be considered for the Queen Elizabeth II - Aiming of the Top Scholarship via the OSAP application (check the Dates and Deadlines section for specific application deadlines).
OSAP Access Number (OAN):
As of the beginning of May 2010, students who have previously submitted an OSAP application will need their OSAP Access Number (OAN) to log into their online OSAP account.
-
New OSAP users: Students who are creating an OSAP account for the first time will not have an OAN. To create an account you will log in with your Social Insurance Number. You will be provided an OAN within 24 hours of creating an OSAP account.
-
Students who have previously created an OSAP account: If you already have an OSAP account you were assigned an OAN when you first created your OSAP account (i.e. when you submitted your very first OSAP application). If you have not kept your OAN please visit the Forgot Your OAN?section of the OSAP website to retrieve your OAN (you will need your Social Insurance Number and the answers to the challenge questions you created when you submitted your first OSAP application).
If you are not able to access your OAN from the 'Forgot Your OAN?' tool, you can visit the Ontario financial aid office at the post-secondary institution (university or college) closest to your current residence. You must present your SIN card (or proof of SIN) and government issued photo ID in order for the financial aid office to retrieve your OAN.
If you are outside of Ontario or are unable to visit an Ontario post-secondary institution you must complete the Request for an OSAP Access Number (OAN) formand send it to the Ministry of Training College and Univerisities. The Ministry will send you your OAN by mail.
OSAP Application Process:
The OSAP application is a 2 step process:
|
STEP 1 - SUBMIT YOUR OSAP APPLICATION |
|
|
The OSAP application for the 2010/2011 academic year will be available on the OSAP website in May. Students must submit an OSAP application before each year of their studies. Please click on the OSAP logo below to visit the OSAP website and submit an application.
If you are unable to complete an online application you can submit a paper application to the Student Awards Office. The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities requires a $10 application fee if you chose to submit a paper application. There is no fee to submit an online application. |
| STEP 2 - SUBMIT YOUR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION TO THE QUEEN'S STUDENT AWARDS OFFICE |
|
When you submit your OSAP application online you will be automatically informed of the specific supporting documentation you must submit in order to complete your application. All supporting documentation should be sent to the Queen's Student Awards Office. Your application will not process until the Queen's Student Awards Office has received and processed your supporting documentation.
Once you submit your OSAP application you will be notified of which specific supporting documentation you must submit. At minimum, all students must submit Signature pages. Other supporting documentation may include (but is not limited to):
As part of the supporting documentation requirements, all students will be asked to complete a Confirmation of Enrollment form. This form is completed at the time you pick up your first installment of OSAP funding from the Student Awards Office. |
Once you have submitted your application and supporting documentation please check your online OSAP account to review the status of your application. It is your responsibility to ensure that your application is complete.
