When should I apply for a Student Provincial Grant or Loan?
You can apply for OSAP funding after you have applied for your degree programme at Hartpury University and received an offer letter with confirmation of your tuition and any automatic scholarships awarded to you.
OSAP applications are completed online and should be submitted as early as possible.
Who manages OSAP loans?
OSAP loans are administered by the National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC). Hartpury University is only responsible for confirming student status and certification.
The NSLSC is responsible for:
- Releasing OSAP funding once enrolment is confirmed
- Managing your loan balance
- Handling repayment after you complete or leave your studies
Students are encouraged to create an online NSLSC account to monitor their funding and repayment details. The NSLSC also offers online loan repayment webinars.

How do I apply?
Once you've received an offer to study at Hartpury University course, you simply need to follow the next steps.
Register for an account, or log in, to apply for OSAP funding through the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP).
Download the Programme Information Form (OSAP) for your year of study and complete the required student and course information.
Email international@hartpury.ac.uk to let us know you have applied for OSAP and attach your partially completed Programme Information Form. Hartpury will complete the institution section and return the form to you for upload to your OSAP account.

Download and sign any declaration or signature forms requested by OSAP.
Upload all required supporting documents directly to your OSAP account.
Complete and submit your Master Student Financial Assistance Agreement (MSFAA), if required by OSAP.
Check your OSAP account regularly for updates and respond promptly to any additional requests for information or documentation.
After you arrive at Hartpury, and when prompted by OSAP, email international@hartpury.ac.uk to request confirmation of your enrolment. Hartpury will complete the required enrolment documentation.
How and when will I receive my funding?
OSAP application processing typically takes 6-8 weeks, depending on the time of year.
Please note:
- Funding is released only after you have arrived at Hartpury and your enrolment has been confirmed by Hartpury University
- If all documentation is submitted by mid-July, initial payments are usually released in September or October
- Some OSAP funding may be paid directly to Hartpury University to cover tuition fees
Once enrolment is confirmed, the Ministry may automatically send part or all of your funding directly to the University. These payments will be visible in your OSAP account. Any remaining balance will be issued to you by direct deposit or cheque, depending on your OSAP setup.
If I apply for OSAP, do I need to pay a tuition deposit to Hartpury University?
