The 2024-2025 OSAP application is now open!
Please note that you must have accepted an offer to a postsecondary institution to begin your OSAP application.
Since college tuition fees are typically due in mid-June, all students intending to attend college next year should be applying for OSAP in early May. This ensures that you will only need to pay the tuition deposit by the June deadline and not the full amount.
Students intending to attend a university next year should complete their OSAP application no later than the first week of June as applications can take up to 10 weeks to process.
OSAP information module
You’ll need to complete an interactive information module before you start your application if you’re a:
If you reapply to OSAP for the 2025–2026, you will not need to complete this module again.
The module will help you understand:
- how OSAP and/or OSAP for Micro-credentials work
- your roles and responsibilities if you become an OSAP or OSAP for micro-credentials recipient
- basic financial information to support you through your postsecondary education (for example, creating a budget, understanding credit and debt)
How the module works
The interactive module contains short, self-study sections with information you must read before you start your OSAP or OSAP for Micro-credentials application. At the end of each section, you will be asked to answer a question about what you’ve just read.
Correct answers let you move to the next section of the module. When you’ve finished the information module, your OSAP or OSAP for Micro-credentials application will open.
You can log in and out of the module at any time, and your progress will be saved.
If you choose to complete the module in one sitting, it will take you approximately 15 minutes.
Only full-time or micro-credential students making their first OSAP application for the 2024–2025 school year need to complete this module. You will not need to complete this module again if you are reapplying to OSAP.
