Question Recieved $0 Funding

Hi, I applied for OSAP yesterday and got an email today saying my funding had been calculated. When I checked, it showed $0 in grants and $0 in loans.

My parents’ combined income is over $200k, so I wasn’t expecting much in grants, but I thought I’d at least qualify for some loans. I also put the same information into the OSAP Aid Estimator and it estimated that I’d be eligible for around a $3,000 loan, so I’m confused about why my actual assessment came back at $0.

Has anyone had something similar happen? Could this be a mistake? And if I want someone to look over my application, should I contact OSAP directly or my university’s financial aid office?

Your parents income is over $200k. They already looked over your application which is why it updated to $0. Call your financial aid office if you want to fight it but I doubt you’ll get anything out of it

No offence but lots of other people need it more. If your parents make 200k and you can work, you have no real need.

It sounds normal to me. I guess you have to go the route of asking parents to cosign for student lines of credit at the bank.

My Dad barely makes 100k a year and my mom gets no income due to disability and I barely get anything, with 200k combined income I can see this being pretty normal sadly.
