um... since I now have a scholarship, does that mean that my OSAP will be reduced? and do I have to contact them in any way?

You should call the financial aid office to make changes to your OSAP application (ext. 24319) They aren't open on the weekend though so you'll have to wait until Monday to call in.

How long should we be waiting before we get worried?

It's possible that they will reduce your OSAP amount. I remember one year I forgot to tell OSAP. However, you always have OSAP pickup, when they ask you to verify income and stuff. If your OSAP amount is reduced, it would then affect your second term amount. |

If you are talking about entrance scholarship you should give it another week.

^ From the e-mail they sent me, " You may update your SIN on MUGSI under ‘My Profile’ and link ‘Social Insurance Number’."

Yep! Under your profile, there's address, e-mails, etc. SIN number is under one of the 'My Profile' tabs

To anyone who applied for the Millennium in-course scholarship (mine was the one for Excellence, not sure if there is more than one). I was notified that I won a few days ago. Was given a week to mail them a confirmation that I still wanted it

Boo. Had a 10.somethinggg average, and still no scholarship :(
Kin kids are too smart, i guess? (Or would I fall under faculty of science for this??)
Do I have any more hope (i.e. are they all done handing out the senate scholarships?)

Okay, with my osap and enterance scholarship it says $0 for my balance,
but the two of them account for more than my tuition.
Does this mean i'll be getting a cheque from someone ( OSAP/McMaster ) because now they owe me money

I'm guessing that when you go to pick up your loan, you'll probably have a surplus with your OSAP money and you could simply keep the deductible.
But if that's not how it works, you should be getting your payment in some form or anything.
