The generous donations of individuals, corporations and The Banff Centre revenues are combined to provide financial assistance for qualified participants.
Financial assistance is only applicable to the residency fee, on-campus accommodation and meals.
If you are successful in obtaining support from other funding agencies, The Banff Centre reserves the right to review and adjust its award. Financial assistance and stipend awards are considered taxable income for Revenue Canada purposes and you will receive a T4A form by the March following your residency period. At the time of writing there are no deductions for income tax, CPP or UIC made from stipend payments and recipients are not eligible for UIC following their participation in a work study program. Leighton Studio discounts are not considered taxable income. Any questions about The Banff Centre's financial aid policy or special problems related to eligibility for financial aid should be directed to the Office of the Registrar.
