CEF Navigation (Committee for Education Funding) supports students and families by explaining education funding options in Ontario and helping you navigate the journey with clarity and confidence.
Our core focus is the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP), the primary financial aid program for postsecondary education in Ontario, which can include a mix of non-repayable grants and repayable loans. We guide you through understanding key terms, organizing documents, and using official online resources to manage your application.
Understand OSAP basics, including how grants and loans may be assessed, what the online process looks like, and how to track updates through official Ontario channels.
Learn how non-repayable funding opportunities may apply, and prepare with document checklists, timelines, and simple eligibility awareness guidance.
Step-by-step support to reduce mistakes—what to prepare, what to double-check, and how to stay organized while completing and managing applications online.
Easy-to-understand learning content that explains key terms, grant vs loan basics, and how to use official resources responsibly for accurate information.
