Funding checklist
- 1.Use York's course-and-program fee lookup for the exact degree, residency category, cohort, and credit load.
- 2.Add supplementary fees, books, residence or rent, food, health coverage, transit, and personal costs to tuition.
- 3.For domestic entrance awards requiring an application, open MyFile after receiving a York reference number and check every listed deadline.
- 4.For enrolled-student funding, complete the FAAS Student Profile and a Need Assessment for each applicable study period.
- 5.Apply for OSAP separately through Ontario and report scholarships, bursaries, income, and enrolment accurately.
Use the OSAP 2026–2027 guide to plan application timing, residency, course load, documents, grants, and loans.
How to find your exact York tuition
Start in York's official course-and-program fee lookup. Select the correct degree, residency category, entry cohort and credit load; first-year Engineering uses 36 credits while most annual examples use 30. Treat that result as the tuition estimate, not the complete amount needed for the year.
- 1. Add costs outside tuition. Include supplementary fees, books, housing, food, health coverage, transit, travel and a contingency amount.
- 2. Separate entrance funding. Automatic scholarships use admission results, while eligible application-based awards appear in MyFile with their own deadlines.
- 3. Complete FAAS after enrolment. Create the FAAS Student Profile and submit a Need Assessment for each applicable study period before relying on matched aid.
- 4. Apply for OSAP separately. York's scholarship and FAAS steps do not submit the Ontario government application on your behalf.
