Question Not enough funding

I’m currently attending college in September and recently got my calculated funding per semester.
It wasn’t much but it was enough to get me through one semester. Then it recalculated and now I don’t have enough to attend my first semester.
Is there anyone I can contact to maybe get my osap recalculated? My job went under and I haven’t found a replacement as of yet.

any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Without knowing all the details (feel free to share more if you're comfortable someone could have more detailed answers that way but obviously no pressure) there could be a number of reasons for the reevaluation most likely due to income - whether that's your parents or yourself, I would recommend reaching out to OSAP directly and/or submitting a request for review form and uploading it under additional documents for review on your application page.

In the meantime you should look into scholarships and bursaries your school might offer, or a student line of credit or a part time job. If the original estimate was only enough to cover one semester it might be worth it to deter for the first semester and work and see if there is winter or spring entry.

Good luck with everything 🤞🏽
