How OSAP works for Toronto students

Toronto students choose from a wide range of colleges, universities and private career colleges. OSAP decides eligibility and amounts using its own rules, and designation is specific to each institution and program.

The programs and schools you are comparing, with any notes.
Where you live now and where you plan to study.

Ask the college

Is my program designated for OSAP?
What are the tuition and fees for the whole program, not just the first term?
When is the next intake, and what is the last date to accept an offer?
Which office confirms my enrolment, and who do I contact if my aid payment is late?

You apply yourself, and only OSAP decides.

Confirm every detail on the official site.

Questions from Toronto students

Do Toronto students get a different OSAP living allowance?

OSAP applies its own rules to living costs, including whether you live at home or away from home. Check the OSAP site for how your situation is assessed.

Can I get OSAP at a private college in Toronto?

Some private career college programs are OSAP-designated and others are not. Designation is program-specific and can change. Check the official OSAP designation list before you pay a deposit.

How do I check whether my program is OSAP-eligible?

Use the official OSAP designation list and ask your school's financial aid office. OSAP alone decides eligibility.
