National Tutoring Reimbursement Program

A Family can be in an educational jurisdiction inside or outside of Canada.

Priority will be placed on first time program applicants attending an accredited elementary or secondary school who have learning disabilities, physical disabilities or illness with an Individual Education Plan in place.

Learners whose circumstances require tutoring support as recommended by their school are also eligible. In extenuating circumstances, a letter of support from the program applicant’s school may be submitted in lieu of an Individual Education Plan.

We anticipate being able to serve a limited number of eligible applicants up to a maximum of $2000.00 per child for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. 

Tutoring services must be delivered by registered tutoring companies, academic institutions or community organizations or persons who specialize in providing academic supports to children and youth. Support Our Troops will not approve reimbursements for tutoring services delivered by friends or family of program applicants. 

Instructions for applicants: 

Please read the eligibility requirements carefully prior to submitting an application. This is the first step in the evaluation process in order to ensure your child qualifies as a recipient. 

For fiscal year 2025-2026, Support Our Troops National Tutoring Reimbursement Program applications may be submitted on a continuous basis between 1 April 2025 and 31 March 2026.    

Please follow the instructions on the Support Our Troops National Tutoring Reimbursement Program Application Form.

All applications must include:  

• a complete application form (on portal window)  
• a current copy of member’s MPRR 
• copies of the two most recent report cards of the applicant 
• a copy of the applicant’s IEP or equivalent or letter from school official or qualified professional

• Please note that approved tutoring expenses will be reimbursed up to a maximum of $2000.00 during the 2025-2026 fiscal year (1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026). Reimbursements will occur up to a maximum of twice in the fiscal year.

• Support Our Troops will not reimburse for tutoring hours billed in advance.  

• If a family with an approved applicant engages in tutoring sessions where costs extend beyond $2000.00, or for tutoring sessions which extend beyond the reimbursement date,  it will be up to the family to make arrangements for payment of those incurred costs.
