What is OSAP?

The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a financial aid program that can help you pay for college or university.

OSAP offers funding through:

  • Grants: money you don't have to pay back
  • Loans: money you need to repay once you're done school

When you apply for OSAP, we automatically consider you for both grants and loans. If you don’t want to take a loan, you can decline it prior to the release of your funding.

There are also programs to help you repay your student loan once you're done school.
