Scholarships & Aid
There are quite a few opportunities available to you. St. Clair College offers many awards, scholarships and bursaries. We will list some of the details here for you. You can also view up to date information regarding these on the official St. Clair College website.
Financial Aid & OSAP
The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a combination of grants & loans for students that both the Ontario & Federal government provide money towards.
Through one application, and depending on your circumstances, you may have access to this government funding. (A student loan will need to be repaid; a student grant does not require repayment).
The objective of OSAP is to assist students with limited financial resources to help meet the costs of postsecondary education.
How and when will I know if I am entitled to OSAP?
At the time you submit your online application you may view an estimate of your entitlement. This is an estimate only and should not be considered as your actual entitlement. Once your application is complete and all supporting documentation processed, you may view your actual entitlement by logging on to your OSAP account and clicking “Check Status”. It is your responsibility to monitor the status of your application and to submit all required documentation in a timely manner.
