Students with a Disability
April 5, 2026
National Educational Association of Disabled
Students (NEADS) website:
The Canada Study
Grant and Canada Access Grant provide up to $8,000 and
$2,000 per year, respectively, to students with
disabilities to help cover education-related costs.
The 2006 Federal Budget featured an
announcement which eliminated the $3,000 limit on the
amount of scholarship, bursary and fellowship income a
post-secondary student can receive without paying
federal income tax.
This isn't quite
right...
Subsequent to that, it was announced that
the full amount of scholarships, bursaries and grants is
not taxable and /or reported as income on the tax return
if you are eligible for the education amount.
This includes the Millennium Scholarship, Canada
Study Grants and Canada Access Grants.
Not
only do students with a disability gets grants, they are
eligible for full time education and textbook amounts
for part time attendance in school. Thats' $400 plus $65
per month of tax credits at about 20% and it's
transferrable to parents and grandparents along with
tuition fees that aren't useable by the student. (at
least up to the first $5,000 and the rest carries
forward for use by the student when they taxable
income)
Students who move to go to school can
write off moving expenses when they start to work.
Moving expenses that can't be used while you are
attending school carry forward to be used when you start
to earn income.
