late_newbie Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I did an OSAP Aid estimator - and put in my income information and it showed I would get $13,917 - pretty much $14,000. I just submitted my actual OSAP application, and it said that my aid estimate is only $11,500. Has anyone had such a big discrepancy? I don't know why it went down by $2,500 (even though I entered the same income information i.e. annual income, and income in 16 wk period before study, and savings) Anyone had a similar encounter?

KraftD Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yeah, the estimator tool doesn't always line up with what you receive or the estimate at the end of your application. I had $4-5K separating the tool's outcome and application estimate first year, ~$2K in second year, so your gap doesn't seem abnormally large based on my experience.

late_newbie Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Oh I see. I guess I was surprised, since I had seen people posting that they had gotten ~13,000-~14,000 considered the full OSAP estimate for first year, so was expecting a similar number, since my income is very little for having worked part-time and not in school.

My estimator was about 3K higher than my actual aid estimate, and I am pretty sure I entered the exact same info on both. I was disappointed!

I was disappointed! yeah.. in previous years, my estimate and actual OSAP have been pretty close with like a few tens of dollars difference (not even hundreds). :/ don't know what's going on, and not really sure who to contact about it..

I was disappointed! so yeah I got my actual OSAP assessment today, and it's the $11,500 predicted right after I submitted my app, rather than near the $13,917 estimator said. I honestly don't get this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
