The Government Piece - What is OSAP?
• The Ontario Student Assistance Program is a needs based loan and grant
program, funded by both the federal and provincial government, which
provides financial assistance to students to help them attend college or
university.
• “Its purpose is to supplement, not to replace, the financial resources that you
(and your family, if applicable) are expected to contribute.”
• Through one application (per academic year), you will be considered for non-
repayable grants, as well as loans that you eventually must repay.
OSAP
Loans = Borrowed Money
Grants = Free Money

Why should you apply for OSAP?
• The OSAP Loan is an interest free loan as long as you are attending a post
secondary institution full time (60% courseload or greater)
• Federal Interest Rate = Prime + 2.5 / Provincial Interest Rate = Prime + 1.0
• OSAP offers a grace period. OSAP loans are payment free for the first six months
after you complete full time studies. (Provincial Interest accrues during this period)
• The Loans Center has Repayment Assistance Programs (RAP). When your loans
go into repayment and you are unable to make the payments-you can apply for RAP
to have the payment reduced or put on hold for an additional 6 months. Students that
earn less than $25,000 in annual income will not be required to make payments

When do I apply?
• The 19-20 application will be available on or around April 24th, 2019
• Check with your College or University about deadlines-they will request
you to apply by a certain date in order to have your application ready to
process for September
• The OSAP deadline to apply is 60 days prior to the end of the study
period; however if you are looking to have an OSAP deferral for your
tuition, you need to adhere to the institution’s deadline
• Not every school offers an OSAP deferral for tuition and/or residence; it
is important to visit the schools website to determine when your fees
are due
