FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Trafalgar Castle School is pleased to offer financial assistance to support families who may require assistance to meet the financial commitment of a Trafalgar education. There is a fixed amount of financial aid available each year, and assistance is awarded based on financial need up to a maximum of 40% of the tuition.

Applications for financial assistance should be made at the same time as an application to Trafalgar Castle School. To demonstrate financial need, parents must file an online Financial Aid for Canadian Students (FACS) application through Apple Financial Services. This is a confidential process. The FACS process identifies a family’s ability to support educational expenses.

A recommendation for assistance is made by Apple Financial and reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee. Please go to www.applefinancialservices.ca to complete the application. Each year, families are asked to reapply for financial assistance as their circumstances may change. Unfortunately, not all deserving candidates’ requests can be accommodated.

Awards are made between January 1 and March 1 annually. Applications are considered after this date, if funds remain available. We strongly recommend you complete your application as early as possible. For more information contact financialaid@trafalgarcastle.ca

Tax Receipts

Tax Credit

Under current Canadian legislation, students under 16 years of age are eligible for childcare expense fee receipts, depending upon residential status. Trafalgar Castle School provides a childcare expense receipt for a portion of fees paid. Receipts are mailed annually from the Business Office.

Trafalgar recommends that you review your own circumstances with advice from a professional financial adviser before making a claim.
