Education Incentive Program

Easy application

Tax filing not required

The NLHC’s Education Incentive Program:

  • Provides an eligible monthly incentive of $50 for each child and/or adult student or dependent attending high school or a post-secondary institution, which is double the $25 per student that used to be available
  • Eligible grades include grades seven through nine, in addition to high school (levels 1, 2, 3 or 4).
  • Eligible tenants will receive $50 for every month that each child and/or adult student is in school. This will be issued by cheque to the leaseholder.

If you have children in high school, payments will be made twice a year. NLHC starts accepting requests for payment at the end of the normal school terms, which would be January and June.

For those in post-secondary institutions, NLHC starts accepting requests for payment at the end of each semester. For example, at Memorial University, the semesters end in April, August and December.

Please note, payments can take eight (8) weeks or more to process.

Any Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation tenant(s) attending grades seven through twelve, ABE or a post-secondary institution.

Proof of school enrollment

For example:

Post-secondary student ID #, letter of acceptance, Post-secondary degree, Canada Student Loan, Provincial Student Loan.

NLHC will need a letter from the school for each child and/or adult stating the student was in full-time attendance and the exact date of the school term for which you are requesting the incentive funding.
