Hello all, I was trying to find information about OSAP but the only stuff I could find was from years ago. I did engineering for undergrad so my tuition was relatively high; OSAP would cover all and give approximately half as grants (I think it was called opportunity grants). Is the same sort of thing applicable to med tuition? Or is it they give enough to cover tuition (+ added expenses) and it's all payable. I know that the government has added a lot of grants and incentives recently (for example, I think there are grants for people under a certain income) but I've been out of undergrad for a few years so I'm not current on any of that. If anyone has info about those too it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I like many of you have been browsing these threads as my first year came to a finish. I was wondering how people who are just starting med school have already used up their OSAP grants because as far as I have seen, there is no limit listed on the site. I am getting 1k burnouts per semester roughly in grants, so if there is a limit should I not apply during my undergrad and save them for medical school.

I tried searching around for this but beyond what boundary does it count as 'rural site' for the osap loan forgiveness? Does anyone have any suggestions of places they did a rural placement and were able to qualify for the $8000 loan forgiveness?

Hey, does anyone know how OSAP works for med students now? I heard there were some revamps of the system for med students (how they were previously ineligible for 30% off, etc.)? I know OSAP is income-dependent aid so it varies. But, what is the average aid available for med students do you guys don't mind sharing. I am just trying to gauge my finances over the course of med school and see how much loans I need to draw on to complement. Just want to have a rough idea of my finances going in so I can budget myself. Thanks guys!

Hi Everyone, I just graduated medical school this year in 2017 and have started Residency. I am wondering if there was an error with my OSOG I received from OSAP. I didn't receive anything for 4th year. I just received my Third Year OSOG which was one year late because it seemed they combined 3rd and 4th year. Is this normal? My OSAP was maxed out every year as well and had no income. OSOG Grants Received. 2013-2014 - First year - ~$5200 2014-2015 - Second Year ~$5500 2015-2016 - Third Year - $5700 2016-2017 - Fourth Year - Nothing. Thanks for any help.
