STUDENT ACCESS GUARANTEE BURSARY

Sault College is pleased to partner with the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities in providing additional support to students identified with additional costs not recognized by the limitations of the OSAP program under the Student Access Guarantee program.

Students that have applied for OSAP and continue to have an "unmet need" of at least $100 not covered by the OSAP program will receive a Student Access Guarantee Bursary at the time that the January instalments of OSAP are issued. 

STUDENT EXCEPTIONAL EXPENSE BURSARY

This bursary was designed to assist students who due to an "exceptional expense" are no longer able to balance their school term budgets. 

Students must complete an application form and provide a written explanation of the exceptional expense incurred, the steps taken to resolve the financial issues and exactly what the monies requested will be used for.

The Student Exceptional Expense Bursary is available to all full-time post-secondary students who demonstrate an unmet financial need due to an exceptional expense. Students may apply for assistance at any time during the semester through the Financial Aid Office. Applications will be accepted during normal office hours. All applications are reviewed by the Committee. Normally the maximum allowable does not exceed $500 per semester per person. These funds are issued at the discretion of the Committee with the final approval of the President's Executive Committee.

Contact the Financial Aid Office, Room E1301 to obtain an application form. 

Annual maximums will be part of consideration.
