hi

my current osap status says
Your application is currently on hold and cannot be processed any further.
what does that mean? i¨m kind of nervous cuz i^m not sure what it means.. =_=)

and also, for income verification, my income this summer exceeded what i put in osap.. its cuz i suddenly have more hours at work.. which i did not expect when i applied for osap.. is it gonna hav a big impact on my osap application?? i put that i¨ll be making around $400 and i think based on my hours i¨ll be making around $1000.. also for scholarship, i put $1000 but i¨ll probably have $3000.. cuz i got an unexpected scholarship.. ,O_O,

thank u so much!!!

I applied in May, sent everything in, and it still says "your application is being processed. Come back at the end of July" or something like that. Is this normal for everyone?

p.s. I know it's different this year, so should I expect the funds to be automatically deposited into my bank account right after it processes?

Yes, it will, but maybe only a few hundred dollars.

Have you read this thread? Yes, it's the same for everyone. This Liberal government is bloated and inefficient beyond all belief. It's ridiculous.

No, you'll still get your funds in September/October.

Most schools allow you to register without payment based on the fact that you have OSAP coming.

Just a couple of questions:

1. I just submitted my online application and mailed in my declaration pages about a few days ago. Does this mean I won't be getting my OSAP funding until the end of September / around October?

2. I have made a mistake with the amount I put in the section that asks for the "return trip costs" on my online application. I will be editing that part tonight, but does that mean I'll have to re-print the declaration pages (that I already mailed in) and call the Student Aid / Financial Office at my university to tell them about this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi. I checked my staus today and they've finally updated that they have the MFSAA document. However, the documents I sent to my financial I'd office are not showing. Should I call my financial aid office, or should I wait till the end of July as it says in the status? Has anyone else had this same issue?

I apologize in advance if this questions has been asked before. I looked through the first 5 pages and did not see anything close to my question....

When I did the OSAP aid estimator for 2012/2013 it gave me an estimated loan of $4620. But today my application was processed and according to OSAP I have adequate funds to cover my expenses. Does anyone have any idea why this happened? If anyone has had this happen to them, were you able to successfully appeal?

I have contacted my financial aid office and they were of little help, the best she could come up with is "an estimate is just that, an estimate" Obviously I realize that the estimate amount could have been off, but I don't understand why it is $0. I am married, no dependents.

Thank You for your help :)

I can confirm that mine is in, and has a higher number than estimated. Guess I can afford to go to university after all (OSAP estimate + actual fees due seemed borderline). :P

You tell your school this, and some require a $50 late payment charge to allow you to attend classes while you await OSAP.

Of course it's necessary. Don't submit it? You're not getting OSAP.

hi guys, I have a question, so I put the wrong info under the "get estimate". I wanted to change it because I didn't know that my funding will be based on the info that I put under the "get estimate". Can anyone help me? :(

The school will extend the deadline. Ottawa University's deadline is September 29th for OSAP students.

With OSAP being broken up into 2 parts (60/40) does the first part go to the entire years tuition or just the first semester?

Contact your university's financial aid/OSAP department. They can usually alter your application.
