The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a financial aid program that can help you pay for university. OSAP offers funding through two kinds of money:

• Grants which do not need to be paid back.
• Student Loans which need to be repaid once university is completed.

OSAP is available to help fund not only tuition, books/equipment/supplies and mandatory student fees but also living expenses for full-time students and childcare for students with children.
