The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a government sponsored loan/ grant program that may assist you to meet the cost of full-time postsecondary study. The amount of funds approved will depend upon the student’s resources, as determined by the OSAP assessment. OSAP provides subsidized loan assistance to students who are registered in an approved certificate, diploma or degree program, which is at least 12 weeks in length. To qualify for OSAP, students must take a full course load and meet the Ontario residency requirements.
Visit the website at osap.gov.on.ca or the Humber website at humber.ca for more information on the OSAP program. For personal assistance visit the Financial Aid office or call 416.675.6622 ext. 4245.
Tuition bursaries are available for new and returning students. This bursary will be applied to tuition fees. For more information and the application process, students must visit our website at srs.humber.ca.
Financial need bursaries are available to returning students at Humber. To determine eligibility, students must have achieved a successful academic record, have a proven financial need, and meet with a Financial Aid Advisor in the Financial Aid Office on campus.
Student Access Guarantee bursaries are available to OSAP students who have an unmet need under the OSAP program based on tuition and book costs as identified by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
Since 1996, Humber and the Ontario government have teamed up to raise over $1 million for bursaries. The money raised will remain at Humber in an endowment fund, and the interest generated will be given to students in financial need. Bursaries are given based on a student’s individual need, in the amount of $500.

Sponsorship generally means that the student’s fees will be paid by the sponsor. Students may receive living allowances and/or book costs as well. Typical sponsors would be the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).
Students who wish to apply for sponsorship must contact the agency involved and request that authorization for sponsorship be submitted to the Office of the Registrar and Enrolment Management in writing prior to registration. Failure of the sponsor to advise the Office of the Registrar and Enrolment Management by fee deadline date will jeopardize seat availability.
Academic scholarships valued at $1000 (redeemed in two installments, $500 – fall and $500 – winter) will be awarded to fall applicants who apply prior to the equal consideration deadline (February 2) for our postsecondary/postgraduate programs. These scholarships are based primarily on academic merit and do not require a separate application. The top applicants for each academic division will be automatically considered and notification will be included in the admissions acceptance letters.
To be eligible for these academic scholarships, candidates must be qualified for their chosen program at Humber and must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident entering the first year of full-time postsecondary/postgraduate studies.
A limited number of entrance scholarships are available to full-time students entering a Humber postsecondary/postgraduate program for the first time. The value of these scholarships is $1000.
Minimum criteria include academic proficiency, two reference letters (education, employment, community) and involvement in extra curricular activities. Entrance scholarships are available in limited numbers for selected programs.
Deadline: July 31, 2009.
Entrance scholarships will be awarded by decision of Humber’s Scholarship Committee. A student may not receive more than one entrance scholarship.
