OSAP for Micro-Credentials

A selection of OsgoodePD’s professional development programs is now eligible for OSAP funding.

A list of eligible programs and the application form can be found on the OSAP website.

Please note that under OSAP rules you must complete an eligible program, including the assessment requirement, within a prescribed period of time currently set at 12 weeks from start to finish. Osgoode Professional Development is not responsible for any consequences, financial or otherwise, that may result if you do not complete the program in accordance with OSAP requirements.

Micro-Credential OSAP Application Deadlines

Applications must be received no later than the last day of the study period. Supporting documents and review requests must be received no later than 5 days after the last day of the study period. 

For more information, please visit the Ontario Ministry of Education’s Micro-credentials from Ontario’s postsecondary schools information page. Please note the following exceptions that may affect OSAP funding eligibility for our certificates:

Students receiving Second Career funding for a micro-credential during their study period are ineligible.

Although grants will not be converted to loans, a grant may become repayable if a student withdraws, is determined to be overpaid in grant funding, or income cannot be verified within one year.

A student cannot receive OSAP for micro-credential assistance for their study period if it overlaps with another micro-credential study period in which they are concurrently receiving OSAP for micro-credential funding. However, students may overlap their micro-credential study period with a study period that is part of a different full- or part-time program that they are concurrently receiving funding for through Full-Time OSAP or Part-Time OSAP, provided that OSAP funding was not assessed for the micro-credential course(s) through a Full-Time or Part-Time OSAP application.
