I think it's on the OSAP website somewhere. The TTG is organized by them. We used to have to apply for it, but now you are automatically considered when you apply for OSAP.

I saw it before as a separate section on the OSAP webpage; now it's nowhere to be found.

How do you know if you're qualified to receive it and when it is in the mail?

I remember seeing a "status" last year saying whether it has been mailed or still processing.

Check Status Yourself

The best way to find out about your application is to check its status on this website. It is available 24 hours a day. You can log in to get:
  • Application status - where your application is in the processing steps.
  • Checklist - things that have to be done before you can get your aid.
  • Documents you have to provide – keep track of what you have to do.
  • Amount of aid - amount of loans, grants, bursaries and/or scholarships and when they will be available.
  • Help - who to contact for additional help.
