How to Apply for Financial Aid
What's Involved?
To apply for a bursary, families are required to complete a Financial Aid for Canadian Students (FACS) application through Apple Financial Services, an independent third party.
The family must provide, in confidence, information on family assets, liabilities, income, expenses and other relevant financial information.
Apple Financial will review the information and make a recommendation to the School. The School’s Financial Assistance Committee reviews the recommendation and determines the amount of bursary.

Families must apply for a bursary on an annual basis in order to demonstrate continued financial need. In order for a bursary to be renewed, the student must contribute as an active and positive member of the school community.
Unfortunately, not all requests for assistance can be accommodated and recommendations by Apple Financial are not a guarantee of a bursary. A family must be prepared to invest in their child’s education to a significant level.

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
