Bursaries - 2010/2011

• Bursaries are awarded based upon financial need.
• All parents of students wishing to be considered for a bursary must complete a FACS PFS - Financial Aid for Canadian Students - Parents' Financial Statement (Bursary Application Form).  All submissions are reviewed by Apple Financial Services, an independent 3rd party, who then makes recommendations to the School regarding bursary awards.
• The final decision regarding bursaries is made by the Financial Aid Committee at Balmoral Hall School.
• All information and decisions are kept strictly confidential.
• It is Balmoral Hall School’s policy that no more than 50% of a student’s fees will be covered by bursaries. The Bursary Program is meant to supplement, not to replace, a family’s financial commitment. Actual amounts awarded vary according to a number of factors including the number of requests received in any one year, and to the financial resources available.
• Bursaries are granted for one year only and must be reapplied for each year.
• Bursaries are awarded by the School and carry no obligation of repayment, although it is hoped that beneficiaries will, in the future, become donors to the Annual Fund.
• The full amount of the bursary will appear on the monthly statement according to the recipient's chosen Tuition Payment Plan option.
  (e.g.: Plan A – June, 2010, Plan B – September, 2010, Plan C – December, 2010)
• If for any reason, a student leaves the School during an academic year, any allocated bursary funds must be paid back or revert back to the School.
