Saskatchewan Advantage Grant for Education Savings Waiver of Repayment


Repayment of the Saskatchewan Advantage Grant for Education Savings (SAGES) is required when contributions to a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) are withdrawn (unless a beneficiary is eligible for an Educational Assistance Payment or the withdrawals of contributions are made to correct an RESP over contribution).

Situations may occur to cause the Subscriber undue hardship if repayment of the SAGES grants is required due to the withdrawal of contributions. As per Section 8 of the Saskatchewan Advantage Grant for Education Savings Regulations, the Minister may waive the requirements for repayment of SAGES grants to avoid undue hardship.

To request a waiver of repayment of SAGES grants, the RESP Subscriber should complete this Waiver of Repayment for the active RESP and submit to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Advanced Education within 12 months of the RESP contribution withdrawal date. Supporting documentation is required.

Mail the completed form and supporting documentation to:

Ministry of Advanced Education
Student Service and Program Development Branch 
1120-2010 12th Avenue REGINA SK S4P 0M3
Telephone: 1-800-597-8278
