The OSAP website is a quick and easy way to apply. There is no application fee when you apply online. The online application tells you what supporting documentation is required so that you can start gathering the necessary paperwork.

When you begin your on-line application you will be given an access code: keep this information in a safe place because you will not be able to access your OSAP information without it.

Checking Your Application Status: Once you have submitted your application, the best way to keep track of its status is through the OSAP website. Information about your application is displayed as soon as it is available.

OSAP Renewal Applications: If you received OSAP funding last year, you can complete your renewal application online at the OSAP website. You can also get an estimate of this year's funding right away.

If You Don't Have Access to the Internet: If you don't have access to the OSAP website, you may still get a paper application. Paper applications are available in late May from any college, university or high school.
Note: Please allow four weeks for processing paper applications.

Paper applications should be sent to the college campus you plan to attend. Include a $10 cheque payable to the Minister of Finance.

To check the status of your application, you may call toll free 1-866-330-3331.
