Line 130 - Scholarships, fellowships, bursaries (study grants), and artists' project grants

Scholarships and bursaries are amounts paid or benefits given to students to enable them to pursue their education.

Fellowships are similar to scholarships and bursaries in that they are amounts paid or benefits given to persons to enable them to advance their education. The recipient is usually a graduate student and the payer is normally a university, charity, or similar body.

U9 w9 eUnder proposed legislation, the full amount of scholarships, fellowships, or bursaries are not taxable and are no longer reported as income on your tax return.   The scholarships, fellowships, or bursaries must be received by you as a student with respect to your enrolment in a program that entitles you to claim the education amount. If you are not eligible for the education amount, report on line 130 only the amount that is more than $500.

If you received an artist's project grant that you used in producing a literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work, you can subtract a $500 exemption or your expenses, whichever you prefer. If you claim expenses, attach a list of them to your paper return. However, the expenses you claim cannot be more than the grant and cannot include:

我不是专家,我说的不一定正确.
' [! s7 e5 r  L  o我记得我的学生贷款分为两部分.一部分为Loan,另一部分为Bursay. Loan是不算收入的,而Bursay超过3000的部分是要算收入的.比方说你拿Scholarship 2000, Bursary 4000, 总共有6000,那么有3000(6000-3000)要上税. 不过这是以前的政策. 今年有变化,就是Scholarships, fellowships, bursaries 都不算收入. 具体请看1楼.
