Additional Funding for Students with a Disability

Bursary for Students with a Disability (BSWD)

Students that qualify for OSAP and have a documented permanent disability may be eligible for additional assistance through Bursary for Students with a Disability (BSWD).  This bursary is designed to assist with educational and disability related costs for equipment and/or services.

First, students must satisfy OSAP's Permanent Disability requirement by submitting a Verification of Disability Form: 

• Verification of Disability Form - to be completed by a Physician or Certified Health Care Professional (.pdf)

Second, students must schedule an appointment through the Student Accessibility Services Office to meet with an advisor in order to determine what accommodation(s) are required.  At this meeting an application for a BSWD may be completed and forwarded to Student Awards & Financial Aid for approval.
