Less paperwork to apply for OSAP

Ontario is making the student loan and grant application significantly smaller. Colleges and Universities Minister John Milloy said students will have to do less paperwork when applying for the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP).
The continuing goal is to ensure financial concerns don’t create a barrier to post-secondary education, he said.

In the past, students would need to have finalized their OSAP papers before going off to stand in long lines to get the Distance Grant or the Ontario Access Grant, which is available to students from low income families.
Now it will be "deposited directly into their bank account".
