Ontario Tuition Grant and OSAP
Effective with the 2015/2016 academic year, students who receive a tuition waiver which covers 100% of the base tuition are now eligible to be considered for the 30% Off Ontario Tuition Grant. To apply to be considered for the grant, please visit the OSAP website. Students who are applying for the 30% Off Ontario Tuition Grant through the Ontario Student Assistance Program full-time application (OSAP Full-time) are required to report their tuition waiver amount as “Award Income” on their OSAP application. For additional information, please email Student Awards & Financial Aid at award1@uwindsor.ca.
Tax Reporting
According to the Canada Revenue Agency, tuition waivers for spouses or dependents are not a taxable benefit to the employee. The Tuition Waiver amount will be reported as a scholarship to the student, issued on a T4A to the student.
