Just a question where did your grant came on mugsi or bank account? I haven't gotten mine yet so just curious I dont even know yet if I get the grant or not so just wanted to ask.
P.S checked my bank account and there was a credit of 25$ only and in the description box it says 2011 student bonus so just wanted to ask out of curiosity i dont even know why i got 25$ in my account that cannot be the grant.

Well if you got some form of ontario access grant (and a few other types of grants I believe) they'll reduce the amount of the ontario tuition grant by the amount of your other grant so maybe the leftover was $25 but I'm not 100% sure on this.

grant = bank account
bursary= mugsi

that 25 was probably it... if you get the access grant they reduce the rebate grant by that amount and give you the remainder

yayyyyy! Got mine too! It's dated Jan 31st, 2012 in my Bank account. I am talking about the Ontario Tuition Grant of $800. The bursaries however will be deposited/sent via cheque depending on your option in OSAP application.

So happppppy! woohooo!

Hi everyone!

Just a heads-up, the MSU has put together a small survey to find out who gets the grant, who doesn't and why. Fill out the survey and tell us your story so we can work to hopefully expand grant eligibility for those of you who don't get the money. Personal stories are great when we sit down with politicians and try to enact change.

I just received the grant today, by mail. I forgot I didn't give OSAP my banking information. Awesome, now I can pay off the rest of my tuition.

Hi everyone,

I called the hotline today, and many of the applications for McMaster students are still being processed. The reason they gave me was because the university has to individually go through each, and confirm that we are enrolled in the program we listed in. Stupid I know, but most likely on it's way (by the way, i'm on osap so didn't have to apply seperately)

Got mine a couple days ago. For those getting it, check your bank account/mail everyday to see if you got it. (Check throughout the day for bank account because it could be deposited at anytime from your banks official business hours)

I didn't get mine yet and I applied so long ago :@

I just got $130 from P.ONT.MSP...is this my tuition grant?? what happened to $800?
