Is the OSAP money going to go directly to the Mcmaster account?
I chose payment in full, which has deducted the expected OSAP amount.
If my OSAP money comes late (or even not at all because it is being processed so late)
will I be charged interest or what not?
If I don't get my OSAP funding certificate, will I be able to pay the outstanding fees without penalty?

If you selected OSAP as a payment method in your payment agreement, or plan on doing so, then the money will go directly to McMaster.
I believe the OSAP release starts on the last week of August. It "ends" sometime at the end of September, but you can still pick it up at SFAS after that.
You won't be charged interest unless it's past September 29th, but you could always talk to SFAS telling them your OSAP hasn't arrived yet.
As for your last question, you'll have to talk to SFAS about that and work something out in case that does happen.
But you don't even have your OSAP entitlement yet, so I'm not too sure you can use it as a payment method if it's not official by September 1st. Call SFAS tomorrow and ask them or better yet, set up a meeting and talk to them in person.
