OSAP and OGS

[ladybug3]

I have a question for anyone who has ever received OGS before or knows much about it.

So, I am receiving OGS for 3 terms for the first year of my Masters, starting in September. I recently was offered a small research assistantship of $5000 for the year. I went into the OSAP office to report boh of these changes on my application. Now I no longer qualify for OSAP. It isn't a huge deal; I am getting about $1500 more than the max OSAP anyways, but I am worried that no longer qualifyin for funding means I no longer qualify for OGS.. in which case (funny enough), I would be in desperate need for OSAP funding!

Does not qualifying due to income from OGS/assistantship count as not being eligible for OSAP (and thus OGS)? I meet the criteria in that I would be getting OSAP funding if I hadn't been fortunate enough to receive OGS...

OGS is not need-based, so no, there is absolutely no reason I would see that you would lose it. You are still ELIGIBLE for OSAP, you are just not receiving any money. There's a difference there.
