Some of these other<br />

costs include:<br />

• Ancillary fees (many students do<br />

not realize their ancillary fees are in<br />

addition to their actual tuition costs)<br />

• Books and supplies<br />

• Transportation<br />

• Lodging and meals<br />

• Personal expenses, such as<br />

cellphone, credit card payments, etc.<br />

So although the new OSAP assistance<br />

is more generous, don’t forget those<br />

additional costs when you are planning.<br />

Please note: Students who receive the OSG<br />

and withdraw from their program within<br />

the first 30 days, will have their grant<br />

converted to a repayable loan.<br />

We encourage all interested students to<br />

apply for OSAP as soon as possible in<br />

Spring 2017 to find out how much they<br />

will receive in this new grant funding!<br />

Additional Avenues of Financial Support<br />

There are other financial programs that you<br />

can apply for separately. Visit the Student<br />

Financial Support (SFS) office for answers<br />

to your financial aid questions and more<br />

information on our various financial aid<br />

opportunities. Students wishing to access<br />

any scholarships and bursaries must<br />

first complete the online Scholarships<br />

and Bursaries Questionnaire on<br />

my<strong>Centennial</strong> before being considered<br />

for these funding opportunities.<br />

<strong>Centennial</strong> College Scholarships<br />

<strong>Centennial</strong> College has an annual<br />

student awards program that recognizes<br />

the academic excellence of our learners.<br />

Awards requiring an application are<br />

advertised on the College website,<br />

my<strong>Centennial</strong>, by emails, or on posters<br />

throughout the College. Many of our<br />

scholarship opportunities are solely<br />

based on your academic performance<br />

and do not require an application.<br />

<strong>Centennial</strong> College Bursaries<br />

<strong>Centennial</strong> provides more than<br />

$3.3 million in non-repayable bursary<br />

funding each year to financially eligible<br />

students. Financial opportunities are<br />

regularly advertised on my<strong>Centennial</strong><br />

and on the College website. For more<br />

details, visit the SFS website at:<br />
