How is OSAP aid determined?

The amount of money you can get from OSAP is based on your assessed financial need. OSAP looks at two factors to determine this:

• Your education expenses: the amount of money you need to cover tuition, books, childcare, personal living expenses, supplies, and equipment.
• Your personal financial situation: the amount of money you and your family are expected to contribute, based on income, family size, and other factors.

The online OSAP Aid Estimator can provide you with a funding estimate based on a few factors. Remember that this is an estimate only! Submitting an application will provide you with an accurate assessment based on your individual situation.
