Manitoba: Free university tuition if you stay 6Yrs - 2006/12/06 19:50
No word yet if it applies to students from other provinces
WINNIPEG — University tuition in Manitoba will be virtually free for students willing to stay in the province under a policy initiative designed to stem the loss of young graduates.
A sketch of the plan was announced last month by the provincial government. It proposed tax rebates equivalent to 60 per cent of total tuition fees for graduates who spend six years in Manitoba after finishing university. Combined with existing federal and provincial tax credits, a typical Manitoba student would now receive more in tax benefits than he or she ever paid in tuition.
Under the new plan, a graduate of a four-year science program who paid $13,258 in tuition would get $7,955 back over a period of six years. That same student would also have received $3,498 in tuition tax credits and $3,379 in education tax credits during the four years of study, for a total of $14,832 in possible earned-income credits.
it's like they are paying you to go to university
