When you apply for OSAP, you will need to already have a letter of acceptance from the school you will be attending. You will also need to provide OSAP with the name of the program and if you will be studying on a part-time or full-time basis.
So it is not possible to apply for OSAP before applying to a college.
However, you can find out how much money you may be able to get from OSAP’s estimator.
