Okay, so I was in some discussion thing on facebook for Wilfrid Laurier University (The school I'm going to) Anyways, a person in the discussion posted this, and I would like to see if any of you are getting the same problem. Because I am too.
Log into your OSAP application, and click on the "Queen Elizabeth Aiming for the Top Scholarship"
Please see what it says.
Mine currently says
"You will not be considered for this scholarship because a) you indicated on your OSAP application that you did not attend an Ontario high school in 2007, b) your institution is not eligible, and/or c) you applied after the application deadline date."
First of all, it maybe screwed up, because their computers may still be thinking 2007, when the actual application asks, 'Did you attend an Ontario high school in 2008?'
My institution is eligible, as I have searched it several times.
And the application deadline date for the Aiming for the top scholarship, is June 20th. I applied a week after the OSAP apps came out, well before the deadline date.
Anyone having this same problem?

I won't be eligile for this, but it still comes up under queen's university and it says the same thing: You will not be considered for this scholarship because a) you indicated on your OSAP application that you did not attend an Ontario high school in 2007, b) your institution is not eligible, and/or c) you applied after the application deadline date. I think this page just got up online, so you might have to wait it out?

Yeah, maybe. I guess if everyone that has checked it has this message there has to be something wrong.

On the actual application it only asks if you attended a high school in 2008. There's no part in the application where it asks about 2007. It seems like they should assume, if I attended high school in 2008 then I attended in 2007. But if there are no application questiosn about 2007, then why does that determine if i get money from the scholarship or not. I would think they would be concerned with 2008.

or ask your guidance counselor If I was in high school still, I definitely would. I miss having them around haha. What school are you going to next year? There's probably not much guidance counsellors can do. The only way to get any information or ask questions regarding OSAP, is to contact the financial aid office at your university. You can't even contact a represetative for OSAP directly. How is the university going to know if OSAP is having technical issues?

You may be considered for this scholarship if you:

If you were NOT eligible for this scholarship, when you applied online you would not have gotten the "Other Scholarships" tab with information concerning this scholarship.
