How do you know if you've received the $800? Should it have been automatically given to you in the beginning of January when you pickedup your OSAP? Or should I be expecting a cheque in the mail (like for the TTG)?

According to the OSAP website:

"If eligible, you’ll receive the grant by cheque or direct deposit by the end of January."

I got it!! They deposited the money in my account on the 31st.

Interestingly, my brother didnt get his rebate yet...anyone have any ideas why?

did it deposit it into your student account or bank account? cause i got an email saying jan 31st too but i dont see it in either:S

Has any1 received theres yet?

Is this for people who aren't currently on OSAP? I still haven't received my rebate and I'm wondering if I should go tomorrow to check it out.

If you dont' have OSAP, you must apply for the tutition grant, based on financial need. I believe that is for people who are not on OSAP. Because OSAP students are automatically given the 800. So I believe it is
