In which situation will Sandra NOT qualify for an educational assistance payment from an RESP?

The situation where Sandra will not qualify for an educational assistance payment from a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) is when she is registered in a full-time program, is not disabled, and spends only 8 hours per week on the courses. To qualify for educational assistance payments, a student generally needs to be enrolled in a qualifying educational program, which typically requires a certain amount of academic engagement, often exceeding what might be inferred from just spending a limited number of hours per week.

Being in a full-time program usually means that the student is expected to commit a significant amount of time to their studies, and many institutions define full-time status requiring more than a minimal level of effort, often 12 hours or more of scheduled coursework per week. Sandra's situation suggests that her involvement may not be sufficient to meet the criteria for receiving educational assistance payments, as it indicates a lower level of academic commitment.

Other situations such as being enrolled in a part-time program, having previously withdrawn from the RESP, or not maintaining academic standing have specific implications but do not automatically disqualify Sandra from receiving educational assistance payments. For instance, part-time students might still be eligible for certain benefits within an RESP, depending on the program and regulations.
