Hello,


I am taking 4 courses this summer and am not working at all (cant find a freaking job!!!!!!!!!) (I live in Hamilton)

I was wondering approximately how much OSAP gives you (I know its obviously subjective)...Would they cover cost of living, transportation as well? Is it comprised largely of loans?


Thanks!

Go to this page (Office of Student Financial Aid & Scholarships) http://sfas.mcmaster.ca/
If you previously submitted a 2009-2010 OSAP application to McMaster, click on the link "2009-2010 OSAP Summer Addendum". Print the form, complete it, and send it in. If you really need the assistance, go submit the necessary forms.

More questions? Read the Financial Aid office website and/or look for information on the OSAP website.

Like you said, the amount that anyone thinks OSAP might give you is 'subjective'. It won't help your situation if people provide you with guesses. Regarding your question about if OSAP is comprised largely of loans...that's easily answered on the OSAP website.

My financial situation has remained the same throughout the year, and I won't be working this summer either. The addendum is giving me about the same amount of money as I would get in a single semester.
