Notice to OSAP students
All awards, scholarships, and bursaries the college administers will be reported to the Ministry of Colleges and Universities on your behalf. This information will be used to update your OSAP application. This may affect your OSAP assessment. If there is an adjustment to your OSAP, you will be notified via the OSAP portal.
Social Insurance Number
If you receive an award, scholarship, or bursary, Student Financial Services will require your Social Insurance Number. According to the Canada Revenue Agency, we require Social Insurance Numbers to generate a T4A form for your income tax purposes.
Income tax – T4A
You will be issued a T4A slip by the college in February for all award, scholarship, and bursary funds issued by Conestoga in the prior tax year if the total of all awards is greater than $500. It is your responsibility to check with the Canada Revenue Agency to see if you need to report this information on your income taxes.
Convocation program
If you are selected to receive an award, bursary, scholarship, or academic grant while at Conestoga, your name and award you received will be printed in the convocation program when you graduate. The Conestoga Student Assistance Fund (CCSAF) Bursary, the Student Access Guarantee (SAG), Emergency Bursary, and some other awards will not included. If you do not want your award included in the convocation program, please email awards@conestogac.on.ca.
Donors enjoying hearing from students
Hearing from students holds significant value for our donors, as it provides them with a tangible understanding of the impact their support has had on a student's educational journey. Sharing your thoughts showcases the meaningful difference a donor’s contributions make and inspires them to continue supporting the aspirations of future students.
If you receive a donor-funded award, Conestoga’s Donor Relations & Stewardship office will contact you to advise how to best communicate your appreciation For more information, email Julie Gillis, director of Donor Relations & Stewardship.
