Financial Assistance

Supporting Our Families

Rundle is committed to promoting a diverse environment and believes that financial aid is an important tool in making Rundle accessible to families seeking to enrol.

Financial assistance is currently available to families with children presently enrolled in a Rundle program. Support granted to families is based upon demonstrated financial need, to provide access, and to support those families currently enrolled who are experiencing temporary hardship.

Financial assistance is supported through Rundle’s operating budget as well as through generous donations from Rundle staff, students, families, alumni, and friends.

Families seeking to access financial assistance must apply through our third-party partner, Apple Financial. Apple Financial makes recommendations to the Rundle Financial Assistance Committee who in turn makes final decisions based upon those recommendations and with consideration of each family’s unique circumstances. Other factors considered may include the student’s academic performance, the student’s character, and consideration of the greater community.

Merit Scholarships

Rundle College Society offers numerous merit scholarships each year to current Rundle students who demonstrate excellence in academics, athletics, the arts, and/or citizenship.

Bursary Information

Rundle College Society provides financial assistance to families with children presently attending Rundle and are unable to financially meet tuition fees. The February 15, 2023 deposit must be paid in full in order to apply and qualify for financial assistance.

The amount awarded is based on the family’s net income from the previous year, taking into account the number of dependents in the family and whether there has been a substantial change in the ability of the family to earn an income. Unique or special circumstances are also taken into account.

Rundle utilizes the services of Apple Financial Services for the compilation and analysis of information submitted by Rundle families. The website for Apple Financial Services is applefinancialservices.ca.

To be eligible for a bursary, please submit the application, via Apple Financial Services, by May 5, 2023.
