Tutoring Program

The program provides a one-time reimbursement for tutoring services of up to $1,500 per eligible child per fiscal year.
 

Currently serving Regular and Reserve Force CAF members with dependent school-aged children with learning disabilities, physical disabilities or illness, children with an Individual Education Plan and for those whose circumstances require tutoring support as recommended by their school are eligible to apply.

The program supports dependent children in CAF families, from kindergarten to grade 12/Sec V.

Dependent school-aged children must be enrolled in an accredited elementary or secondary school or following a homeschool program.
 
Applications from additional populations will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

There is no pre‑approval process; all required validating documents, paid invoices and receipts must be submitted together in the Request for Reimbursement Form. 

Reimbursement requests will be accepted within designated application windows until available funds are exhausted.
 
Applications must include:

• A current copy of member’s Member Personnel Record Resume (MPRR);
• A current copy of dependent child/ren’s IEP or in special circumstances a Letter of Support from a school official at dependent child/ren’s current school or qualified professional;
• A copy of dependent child/ren’s two (2) most recent report cards; and
• Receipts and paid invoices for tutoring services paid for and delivered within FY 26-27.
• Void cheque

CAF families may submit one application for reimbursement of tutoring services per child per fiscal year up to $1,500.

Submitting the reimbursement request form does not guarantee funding. Eligible submissions will receive a separate form by email to provide banking information required for reimbursement. Non-eligible submissions will be notified of denial. Please check your email for your application status. 

Submissions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. 

Reimbursement requests will be accepted within designated application windows or until the maximum funding amount for the application window is reached, whichever comes first.
