hey everyone! my name is Jenn and i'm a first year student at mac

to be quite honest, my family has gone through a rough time for about the past 6 years, in terms of financial income.
i have very little money saved for university, and its hard for my parents to assist me.
yet, when i applied for osap, the amount they gave me was less than $2000, which is hardly enough to help me get through the school year.
i don't really understand what i'm supposed to do now, and could definitely use some advice!

You can go talk to SFAS, they'll help you with financial things.

You can start looking for scholarships and apply to them. You can apply to the ones that require no work, but I highly suggest applying to ones where you have to write essays. Not as many people apply for those so your chances of winning the scholarship is much higher.

But DEFINITIVELY go talk to the people at SFAS.
