Are students applying for OSAP denied the money if they do not get a summer job?

Question

Do high-school students who do not get a job over the summer not get OSAP?

Answer 1

No, you are not denied money if you do not work.  However, money from a summer job is factored into the calculations for what you need to go to school in the fall.

If you did not work but you applied for at least 10 jobs and can prove it, you can request that OSAP review your application and adjust the amount they are expecting you to contribute towards your education.
