and your personal circumstances.

The application is online and updates each year. It’s a good idea to start early so you
84-
have time to collect the documents you need as applications take between 4 to 6
85-
weeks to process. The main deadline for OSAP is 60 days before the end of your
86-
academic study period. However, each school has their own hard deadline, so make
87-
sure you check in with your school’s financial aid office.
