Branksome is proud of its ability to support students through merit scholarships and a program of financial aid (bursaries). Our philosophy is to support, in part, as many families as possible as they look to finance the Branksome experience.
Financial Aid (Bursaries) - The primary responsibility for payment of all fees rests with the student’s family.
- Branksome Hall offers limited assistance, to a maximum of 50% of tuition, to all students in Grade 7 and higher who qualify for admission to the school, and whose families can show evidence of financial need.
- Application for financial aid is made to a third party assessor (Apple Financial or FACS) who makes a recommendation to the school. Applications are dealt with on a first-come first-served basis and should be received by January 13, 2012. All decisions are made by Branksome’s Scholarships and Financial Aid Committee.
- All families are advised to apply for financial aid at their earliest convenience, as funds are limited.
- Academic excellence is not a requirement for the awarding of financial aid, but students are expected to maintain good academic standing and to be positive, contributing members of the school community.
- Renewal of financial aid is not automatic; families must re-apply annually.
- Financial aid is awarded as a reduction of fees, not as cash.
- Both new and returning families are eligible for financial aid.
