Financial aid

Sources of Financial Aid:

OSAP, provincial loans and U.S. loans

If you are a full-time, undergraduate student at Woodsworth, your primary source of financial assistance would be a student loan such as:

An OSAP loan (Ontario Student Assistance Program);
A provincial loan from another province, or
A United States (US) loan.

OSAP tips:

Apply early – well before the start of classes. Learn more about how and when to apply on the OSAP website.

UTAPS

University of Toronto Advanced Planning for Students (UTAPS) could help to fill the financial gap if you are a full-time student receiving the maximum amount of government financial aid available, but your funding doesn’t cover all university costs.

If you are receiving OSAP, you will be automatically assessed for UTAPS.
If you are receiving loans from a province other than Ontario, or you are receiving Band funding, you will need to fill out the UTAPS application. Learn about UTAPS eligibility and the application process.
