Financial planning is vital to being a successful student. The Financial Aid Office is dedicated to helping students understand the variety of financial options available to them to fund their education. Financial assistance could be in the form of parental support, student loans from the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP), bank student lines of credit, bursaries, scholarships or on/off-campus employment.
OSAP applications are available for students to view the details of their applications via the Ministry online system. Students will be notified by the Ministry either electronically or via paper format of the status of their OSAP applications.
Detailed information on all of our financial aid programs is available by clicking here or in the Durham College Financial Aid + Awards office, located at the Oshawa Campus, Room SW116. Contact 905.721.3036 to book an appointment or to speak to a financial aid officer.
Emergency Loans - The Financial Aid office may be able to help provide temporary emergency loan assistance to qualified students who are experiencing short-term financial problems while awaiting delivery of their OSAP. Appointments can be made in Financial Aid + Awards.
Budget Counselling - Preparing a budget can be a challenging task for anyone. By designing and using a budget as a spending guide, a student's chance of having enough money until the end of the school year is greatly increased. Budget counselling is available by appointment from the Financial Aid + Awards Office, Room SW116.
