A Few Important Reminders
The January 2009 deposit is not intended for Christmas and will not
be released before Christmas. You should expect your January deposit on or
around December 30th.
In order to receive your January 2009 deposit, your Winter 2009 course
registration with your name and/or ID number printed on it by your institution
must be submitted to FFWS by DECEMBER 15, 2008. In order to accommodate
this deadline, faxes will be accepted (780-944-0176).
Students funded by FFWS during the Fall 2008 term are required to send in their
transcripts or statement of grades by JANUARY 20, 2009. FFWS does not
require an official transcript at this time. Transcripts/statement of grades
will only be accepted if your name and/or student ID number is printed on them by
your institution. In order to accommodate this deadline, faxes will be
accepted (780-944-0176).
Failure to submit documents by the deadline will result in a delay to your next
month's deposit of up to one month. If you are unable to submit required
documentation by the deadline, contact your funding officer immediately so
alternate arrangements can be made.
For the 2008 tax year, FFWS will NOT be required to issue T4A tax receipts for
post secondary student grants. You MAY NOT deduct your tuition on your taxes
even if you receive a T2202 tax receipt from your school. If you have further
questions, please direct them to a tax professional.
FFWS does not pay for health and dental plans offered by your academic
institution. It is your responsibility to opt out of these plans by the
deadline set by your school. If you do not opt out you will be responsible for
any fees that are incurred.
If you spend more for mandatory books & supplies for the Winter 2009 academic
term than is allocated to you and would like to request a reimbursement, you
must submit all of your original receipts for the total amount you spent and a
mandatory book list from your school by March 15, 2009. Your funding officer
will review your request & you may receive a reimbursement.
