A note about Financial Assistance Awards
A College Scholarship is entirely related to a child’s ability and potential. If there is concern about affording the fees, then families are encouraged to apply for a means-tested
Financial Assistance Award (traditionally known as a Bursary). The scholarship and the financial assistance award applications are considered separately. The need for financial assistance does not determine the level of discount offered with a scholarship award.
