Education Tax Refund to be Replaced by SchoolKids Bonus

A means-tested SchoolKids Bonus to replace the existing Education Tax Refund has been announced by Prime Minister Julia Gillard as a bonus for one million families with school-aged children.

Parents will receive this bonus for each child in school, where an eligibility for Family Tax Benefits Part A exists.

  • $820 per year for high school students
  • $410 per year for primary school students

The direct cash payments will be paid each 6 months with one full payment being issued in the first year to cover the previous years entitlement.

I just want to know if parents of university students are entitled to this payment, as i was allowed to claim before with the education tax refund.
