Application Process
All approved Education Grant recipients (full- and part-time) are automatically assessed for a training allowance of up to $5,000 per semester for full-time studies and up to $300 per course for part-time studies.
Training Allowance Payment
For full-time studies, grants are payable in two equal payments, the first at the beginning of the academic year and the second payable mid-year (after one semester) once the applicant submits a transcript for the first semester.
For part-time studies, grants are payable at the beginning of every semester.
Training allowance payments are deposited directly into the recipient’s bank account.
The training allowance is taxable as income. Grant recipients will be issued a T4A slip at the end of every calendar year in which they received payment.
