I know that the application is done in MUGSI starting on Sept 15. I am trying to budget right now so I have a couple of question .
1. Do you just get one general bursary. or can you get more than one like First Generation and some other random bursary?
2. What is the typical range of the bursary? Do they just look at the same info as your OSAP or do you have to show a budget yourself as to why you need the extra money?

1. I can't answer.
2. If you applied to OSAP that's all the information they need. You should allow them to access your OSAP information. Otherwise you have to fill out a form.

I'm pretty sure it's only one bursary, and it depends on your situation about the range. In first year I got 900 and in second I got 1100. Most people get within this range, as far as I know.
