Financial aid broadens access by providing support to families unable to afford full fees. The aid level typically ranges from 10% to 30% of school fees and is determined by means assessment. Applicants complete a financial aid application, and the Financial Aid Committee assesses all applications and may request a meeting. Each case is assessed on its own merits and awards are reviewed annually, with potential adjustments; donations support the Scholarship Fund and the Committee safeguards, disburses, and invests the funds.
