Eligibility for financial assistance

Thank you for considering St. George’s School. Affording a St. George’s School education is a significant investment in a student’s future. St. George’s School is committed to building a community of talented and engaged students from a wide range of backgrounds and grants over $1M annually in Financial Aid. 

Financial Aid is awarded to qualifying families in order to make a St. George’s School education and experience possible for all students. In order to provide the most objective assessment of a family's financial need, St. George's School participates in the Financial Aid for Canadian Students (FACS) program, operated by Apple Financial Services. Please contact Reto Camenzind at rcamenzind@stgeorges.bc.ca or 604-221-3896 for any questions relating to our financial aid program. 

We encourage any family who may need assistance to apply for financial aid through an application process at no cost. A fee waiver for both our application fee and the SSAT is available. Please contact us. Please use our Financial Aid Estimator to see if your family might qualify.

FAQ

List of 4 items.

  • Who is eligible?

    All students in grades 6 – 12 are eligible to apply for financial aid.
     

  • How are decisions made?

    While AFS provides a financial analysis, it is only a recommendation to the School. The amount of aid awarded is determined by The St. George’s School Financial Aid Committee with consideration of the recommendation of AFS. 
     

  • Is there a cost to apply?

    No; St. George’s School assumes all costs associated with an AFS application.

  • Is financial aid merit-based?

    No. Financial aid is needs-based and is provided on the basis of a family’s financial circumstances and is reviewed annually. The School does, however, offer a few select, merit-based Entrance Scholarships which are independent of demonstrated financial need.
Please note: Financial information submitted by families is kept strictly confidential and is known only to the Financial Aid Committee. Final award amounts are shared with select staff as required for accounting and athletic eligibility. If a need arises for additional disclosure, the financial aid committee will contact the family to obtain explicit permission.
