Please refer to the Program Website or contact the Graduate Program Administrator for your department to obtain information related to minimum funding requirements.  This payment can be made as a stipend (monies paid from a supervisor’s grant) or paid directly from a scholarship (or award) won by the individual student or both.  The stipend payment is considered T4A income and is not eligible for statutory deductions. Income covered by T4A include research grants, scholarships/stipends, bursaries and fellowships.  Please ensure that the account code provided on the payment form being submitted is permissible under the project by checking eFIN prior to submission.  Very rarely, a Granting Agency may stipulates that only Employment/Salary (T4) Income may be paid from the project. In this instance and only if a request to pay a scholarship/stipend (T4A) has been denied by the granting agency, the student may be paid an employment salary. Statutory deductions will apply; including the employer paid portion. This additional cost is required to be calculated as part of the project funds availability.
