Did you have to apply for Millennium? What are the requirements for that? For the Millennium Bursary, you need to have finished 60% of your first year. For the Millennium Access Grant, * Be in the first year of your program, and this must be the first time that you are studying at the postsecondary level. * Your postsecondary program must start within four years of when you left secondary school; * Meet all eligibility requirements to be considered for a Canada-Ontario Student Loan. * Your program is an undergraduate program of at least two years, at a Canadian institution. The institution and program are approved for student loan purposes; * Your parents’ 2007 net income (from Line 236 of the Income Tax form) was at or below these income ceilings. Please note that if you receive a Millennium/Ontario Access Grant, the amount of Ontario Student Loan that you are issued will be reduced by the amount of your grant. Now, please, debt relief?

That last part is confusing me a bit. Does that mean that if it says I received 7K in loans and 1K in the Millennium/Ontario Access Grant, that I would have received 8K in loans had there been no M/OAG?

What I get from that is: Say you get 7k loan but then you end up getting 1k in Millennium, and 1k in OAG, your total loan would be decreased to 5k.

Why is it that I recieved no monies from grants?
Why is it also that the amount that I was loaned (5k-ish) was half of the original estimate (9700)?
Thanks in advanced.

Thanks in advanced. If you didn't receive the grant money then you didn't meet the criteria. For example, your combined parental income might be over 71K/year: http://osap.gov.on.ca/eng/not_secure/Plan_Grants_full_newapp_Mill_OAG_12345.htmAnd the estimates aren't always accurate as they don't include all variables.
