A certain portion of scholarships, fellowships and bursaries may be taxed as income, unless you are eligible for the education amount, which is calculated using a formula provided by CRA.
Full tax exemption applies to scholarships, fellowships and bursaries awarded for full-time study toward a diploma or degree, with the exception of postdoctoral study. If you receive an artist’s project grant, you should declare it, but you may use a scholarship exemption, if applicable, to reduce your income.
Apprenticeship grants must be declared as income and will be on your T4A slip.
