Overview

While you’re a student, you’ll receive special tax forms reflecting your income and expenses. Some forms are mailed to you, but most are available online through your Student Aid account, NSLSC Online Services, and/or MyLoan.

If you need help with your taxes, contact the Canada Revenue Agency.

T4A

A T4A is a statement of income for grants, scholarships and awards related to your education. You’ll receive a T4A if you got $500 or more from a combination of these sources the previous tax year.

For example, if it’s 2024, your T4A reflects the period of January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023.

You may receive separate T4As from Alberta and Canada, depending on where your funding comes from.

Where to get T4As

  • T4A for Alberta grants or awards: your Student Aid account
  • If your email address is not verified with Alberta Student Aid, your T4A will be mailed to you
  • T4A for Alberta scholarships you applied for on a paper application will be mailed to you

You can view your T4A in your account, or it will be mailed to you by February 28 according to Canada Revenue Agency guidelines.
