I went to school back in the days when [OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program)](http://osap.gov.on.ca/eng/eng%5Fosap%5Fmain.html?ref=dashhouse.com) gave grants and loans to needy students. These days, grants are harder to get. I took on some OSAP loans, but I really benefited from their grant program. I couldn’t have made it through school without it. The news today says that OSAP overpaid some grants up to 23 years ago, and is [sending out collection notices](http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article%5FType1&c=Article&cid=1084227010877&call%5Fpageid=968256289824&col=968705899037&ref=dashhouse.com) asking for repayment. Since I got grants, there’s a possibility I’ll be getting a collection notice. Who knows? Not fun to receive a bill from 13 years ago today. Maybe I’ll try to see it as an interest-free loan all these years.
