I applied for said assistance in August before school started so have to wait until middle of October. :(
Downside of this is I owe the school Friday for my courses (on my visa) :( I just don't understand how the school can offer financial assistance based on need, and grants and bursaries based on marks, if we won't actually see the money when we have the bills to pay. *sigh* I really am going to cry when the visa bill comes in tomorrow.
First world problem since I still have the means to further my education, and I'm working two jobs to pay for said education so I can graduate without debt, but right now winning the lottery wouldn't totally be a bad thing either. I hate money stress.
Ohh the woes of a student. I know this all too well. LMK if you need coupons etc to help til it comes in, I might have something you need. I hate the waiting game!

I got an auto rejection last year since I was making too much money apparently at the time...Yeah making min wage is really making too much...LOL!
Haha yah DH gets annoyed to but I say what's the point of getting upset, he knows it's always end of Sept. I just don't get it he's a Grad student been in school for like 7 years I don't think he's gonna take the money and run at this point. Undergrads like myself I could see them wanting me to be a month in first. Guess it just comes down to them being really slow?
People have to buy books and the ones DH needs are only available in Europe so very very pricey (the one was like 500$ on amazon!!!) But he was so blessed the head of the McMaster book store let him have them on IOU til his student loan comes. Every year it seems to be you get a month behind in readings because you can't afford $500-$1000 of books til your loan comes!! Not this year thankfully :)
Are you in Ontario? I think the max you are allowed to make at least for us is $1500 a year or it just gets taken off what we get
