Glenlyon Norfolk School offers a needs-based financial assistance program to support students and their families to join our community.
At GNS, we seek students with strong academic potential, good character and diverse backgrounds from families who share the values of the school. Our goal is to provide resources and opportunities that will ensure our students’ success, and create an environment that encourages respect for the self and others.
Making a first-rate education accessible has been a priority for the school for decades. One of the primary motivations for financial assistance programs is to make independent school education inclusive, to make it available to a broad scope of families, many of whom wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford it. Approximately 24% of our students receive some form of financial assistance.
Our Financial Assistance Program is designed with these principles in mind. Providing opportunities for students of all backgrounds allows our school community to reflect the real world while also fostering educational excellence. Learning in a diverse school environment, where students share different viewpoints, experiences and cultures enhances the experience of the whole community, both inside and outside of the classroom.
Needs-based financial assistance is available for eligible students and is awarded based on each family’s unique circumstances. Awards may cover up to 40% of a student’s tuition. Please note that at this time bursaries are only available to day students who hold Canadian citizenship or permanent residency status.
The application for financial assistance is separate from the application for admission. Both must be submitted at the time of application in order to be considered for financial support. Candidates wishing to apply for financial assistance must complete and submit the Financial Aid for Canadian Students (FACS) application form available via the Apple Financial Services website.
