Why did I receive a T4A (income tax slip) my bursary?

By law, the Canada Revenue Agency requires Carleton to report bursaries, scholarships, awards, prizes, and tuition waiver amounts provided to students. These amounts are shown as income in Box 28 of the T4A. You can view your T4A on Carleton Central in February. It will reflect the amounts you have received from Carleton during the calendar year (January 1 to December 31). For income tax purposes and preparing your T4A slip, your Social Insurance Number (SIN) is required.
