Financial Aid
Opening Our Doors Wide
The school’s strategic plan emphasizes that “diversity and accessibility are essential to Loyola’s identity and that every effort should be made to seek, attract and admit qualified students regardless of their ability to pay tuition and related costs”. Our “needs-blind” admissions policy ensures that there is no disadvantage whatsoever to the financial aid applicant during the admissions process.
- Our Generous Financial Aid Program
-
Last academic year…
- over 16% of Loyola students (1 in 6), received partial or full bursaries;
- over $722,000 in financial aid was awarded to 121 students;
- the average bursary of $5,970 covered 63% of the total school fees.
The financial aid program is funded entirely by the Loyola High School Foundation, thanks to the generous support of alumni, parents, staff and friends and through special fundraising initiatives such as the Foundation Golf Tournament, the Hockey Raffle, the Mothers’ Guild Wine & Cheese and the school store.
- How the Application Process Works
-
There is no specific income requirement to apply for financial aid. The process relies on individualized assessments that take into account each family’s unique circumstances, including their employment earnings and other income, assets, liabilities, number of dependents etc.
Loyola has retained the services of Apple Financial Services to assess all the requests. Parents must complete the online application and submit the required documents. Apple provides an objective analysis of each application, with a recommendation of what the family should reasonably contribute towards the total fees. The Bursary Committee reviews the results and approves the final grants. Families are notified in writing of the committee’s decision.
All new applicants will be asked to meet with the Bursary Committee to discuss their applications prior to approval of the final grants.
The financial aid granted is of one-year duration. Families must reapply each year if their financial need persists.
The School trusts that the information provided on the application is accurate and truthful. Any evidence to the contrary will put the student's standing at Loyola in jeopardy and risk a repeal, retroactively, of all the financial aid awarded.
- Maintaining Confidentiality
-
The financial aid granted is assessed on an individual basis and takes into consideration each applicant’s specific family circumstances. Parents are asked not to share with others the particulars of their financial aid award as this can create false assumptions and expectations. The Bursary Committee maintains the confidentiality of all the financial information received and expects families to do the same. Otherwise, there could be a risk of review and possible repeal of the aid awarded.
The School’s confidentiality policy extends to faculty and staff who are not made aware of the students receiving financial aid.
- Important Factors to Consider
-
Parents should invest in their child’s education before elective expenses such as secondary home ownership, club memberships, expensive car leases/purchases or excessive consumer spending.
In fairness to other financial aid applicants, to other Loyola families not receiving aid whose finances are stretched, and to the donors who sacrifice to contribute to the financial aid program, it is important that parents consider all their options before applying for financial aid (e.g. ten-month payment plan offered by Loyola, assistance from family members, a bank loan etc.).
- Deadlines for Applying
-

- How to Proceed with the Financial Aid Application
-
Once you have read the instructions below, please click here to begin the Online Financial Aid Application.
The Application Fee is $125, to be paid by credit card at the end of the session. In the case of separated/divorced families, the cost of an additional application is $40.
You must submit the following documents to Apple:
- most recent provincial and federal income tax returns, including all pertinent schedules;
- most recent provincial and federal notices of assessment;
- most recent T4 and RL1 information slips;
- most recent mortgage documents;
- most recent Statement of Business Activities (if you are self-employed);
- most recent financial statements (if you own a business).
N.B. Your application will not be processed until all the pertinent documents have been submitted.
Following the submission of the online application, all NEW applicants will be asked to meet with the Bursary Committee to discuss their applications.
- Tax Implications of Receiving Financial Aid
-
The total financial aid awarded in a calendar year will be reported on the T4A and Relevé 1 information slips issued in the student’s name. Parents must provide their son’s Social Insurance Number (SIN).
Federally, bursaries are tax exempt; provincially, they remain a taxable source of income but are eligible for a full deduction. Therefore, this income will have no impact on the student's tax returns.
