mm_med Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hello, sorry if this is a stupid question, but I just want to double-check what to put on my OSAP application. In the financial section there is this: "Scholarships, bursaries and/or awards you expect to receive from Aug 31/13 to Aug 30/14" since McMaster bursary applications happen after we start school, I'm confused about what to put down for this. I am planning to apply for bursaries, but I'm not sure whether to expect to receive anything. So what would I put here? If I put down that I expect to receive $0 (and right now, I do since I don't know what kind of bursaries would be available and whether I'd even get anything), but then apply and actually get something, am I committing fraud? Or is this what the "income update" is for? I would appreciate any help, sorry I'm so clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMasterHopeful Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Right now, you don't know if you will get anything. Put zero and update later. In order to commit fraud there has to be criminal intent (mens rea) I don't think you will be going to jail You can relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
