When to Apply
Your completed application package must be received by the deadline date for each semester. You must submit the completed APPLICATION FOR EDUCATION ASSISTANCE and the CONSENT TO REQUEST AND OBTAIN INFORMATION by the deadline to be considered. 

There are times when all other supporting documentation is not available at the application deadline date. For example, if you are applying to go to school in September 2009 you must have your application into the G.R.P.S.E.O. by May 17, 2009.  If you are applying to go to a post secondary education institution for the first time, chances are that you will not have a Letter of Acceptance by May 17th from the post secondary institution that you hope to attend. The Letter of Acceptance can come into the G.R.P.S.E.O. after the deadline of May 17th, however your file cannot be processed until all documents are in.

The application deadlines for all applicants are as follows:

• Jan 17 - spring/summer semester
• May 17 - fall semester
• September 17 - winter semester

If you apply for a full academic year, you may be approved for two consecutive academic semesters (not usually less than eight months duration) normally beginning in September of the academic year. 

It is your responsibility to follow up with documents by due dates for both the G.R.P.S.E.O. and your post secondary institution. For example, if you have NOT been advised that your funding has been approved by the date that a deposit is required to hold your seat then you must make the decision to place a deposit on your own or not.

The G.R.P.S.E.O. makes every effort to work with students to meet funding deadlines but this is not always possible due to then number of students applying for funding and the dates when documents are received at the G.R.P.S.E.O.
