Government Financial Aid
Full-time Students
The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) provides need-based financial assistance to Ontario residents who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Students in course loads of sixty per cent or greater are considered for both federal and provincial interest-free student loans to assist with educational and living expenses.
Information concerning the eligibility and assessment criteria may be obtained from Admissions and Awards, University of Toronto (416-978-2190). Applications and information are also available via the Internet at: http://osap.gov.on.ca/ .
It is recommended that students apply for OSAP assistance as early as possible.
Students from other Canadian provinces should apply through their provincial financial aid authority. Admissions and Awards can provide addresses and, in many cases, application forms.
