or does it pay directly to the school and the school will subtract the amount from your tuition?

lastly if i apply to osap but paid my tuition at whole tuition at once will the osap amount just go to my bank account?

thanks

In late August until September and again in January you have to go "pick up" your OSAP which is basically you going to a designated location at McMaster and signing off on your OSAP. If you have already paid McMaster in full then you have to take banking information or a void cheque so they can deposit it in your bank account. If not, then you can designate it to go to the school.

You get 60% in September and 40% in January. You will most likely get an email about this whole procedure soon.

Hope that helps
