Financing your Education

There are a number of financial services and funding opportunities available to help you become a successful student.

Graduate Studies Financial Resources

Student Loans (OSAP)

As a graduate student, you can apply for the Ontario Graduate Scholarship Program.
You can also choose to apply to OSAP as a full-time student.

*Notes:

As a graduate student, you need to apply for OSAP on a per term basis, not per year.

Your graduate and entrance fellowship is submitted by the student awards and financial aid office to OSAP on your behalf. Therefore, it is your responsibility to only claim what you expect to earn per term. (For example, if you are making $750, then you would claim $375 per term.) Failure to do so may impact the estimated amount OSAP will allocate for you.

Please be sure to read the application instructions carefully.

Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) Program 

Check out the OSAP Aid Program List for additional scholarships and bursaries you may want to apply for. 

OSAP inquiries can be addressed by contacting central@brocku.ca or by visiting Brock Central (Registrar’s Office).

As a graduate student, you may be eligible for financial support to attend conferences or receive reimbursement if you are required to travel as part of your graduate program. To determine if you qualify, please visit The Faculty of Graduate Studies website.
