THE FOLLOWING SCHOLARSHIPS ARE ALL ALLOCATED FOR 2022-23

​

THE BOOKER SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP FUND PROGRAM

​

The Booker School offers need-based and merit-based assistance in order to make our school as accessible as possible to as many families as possible.

 

We are pleased to announce that the Booker has recently received Anonymous and Named donations to help us provide additional opportunities for children.

​

​

​

NEEDS-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS

​

Need-based scholarships are currently offered to families who demonstrate a gap between their available income and the cost of tuition. The size and number of individual grants is up to 50% of annual tuition, limited by the amount of fund monies available and the number of applicants.

​

Two new Anonymous scholarships have been specifically identified for African Nova Scotian or First Nations students who may not otherwise been able to attend the Booker. These are renewable yearly.

 

All need- based requests for financial assistance are processed by an independent firm, Apple Financial Services: www.applefinancialservices.ca, for assessment and recommendation to the School. There is a nominal fee associated with this service.

​

In evaluating requests for aid, the following criteria are considered:

~ The demonstrated financial need of the family.

~ The School’s regular admissions requirements, process and policies apply.

~ The financial assistance that is available from the school.

​

We are committed to equitable treatment for all applicants. This is possible only if full details of the parents' financial situation have been disclosed on the Apple Financial Services application.

​

To begin the application for financial assistance, please visit: www.applefinancialservices.ca.

​

​

REVIEW AND APPRAISAL PROCESS

​

After completing the school’s regular application and admissions process and upon acceptance to the School, all requests for financial assistance must then be made through the use of Apple Financial Services.

​

No request for financial assistance is entertained by the school unless a school application is on file and the information is submitted to Apple Financial Services. All information is held in strict confidence.

​

A new financial aid application must be submitted each year and reflect any changes in financial circumstances. All awards are given on an annual basis and may not be automatically renewed.

The level of financial support may be adjusted if there is a change in the parents' financial status. For existing students, for an application to be considered there must be zero tuition or fees in arrears. All awards will be credited to a student's tuition upon enrolment for the following academic term.

​

​

OUR MISSION 

 

The Booker School has the fundamental wish that financial constraints not be an obstacle for attendance. Each application can be considered to determine if alternate contributions may be used as a form of payment. We encourage families to contact the Booker School to inquire about the tuition support options that are available.
