Affording Brentwood – Financial Support & Fees
At Brentwood, we believe a student’s potential should not be limited by their financial circumstances. We are committed to attracting the best and brightest talent from around the world, regardless of their family’s ability to pay. Through our robust bursary program, we partner with families to bridge the gap between the cost of tuition and their financial reality, ensuring that an exceptional education remains an attainable investment for every deserving student.
Financial assistance is a possibility for prospective families that cannot afford the full cost of an education at Brentwood.

Financial Assistance
We believe in the importance of your child’s future, and do not want potential students who would thrive at Brentwood to feel held back by financial circumstances. Financial aid is a possibility for prospective families that cannot afford the full cost of an education at Brentwood.
Financial Assistance Application Process
Brentwood College School participates in the Financial Assistance for Canadian Students (FACS) program, operated by Apple Financial Services. We recommend reviewing the Apple Financial FAQ and Instructions – Before Applying before starting the online application. Please note that it can take up to two weeks for Apple Financial Services to receive and process your application. New students should submit their application for financial assistance when they submit their application to the School.
- File one application per household, regardless of the number of students, unless you are separated or divorced (see section 22 on page 3 of the FACS form)
- Brentwood College School (not Apple Financial Services) will notify you of the award decision by mail when all the applications have been processed
- Apple Financial Services only recommends the amount of the tuition adjustment awarded. The Brentwood Financial Assistance Committee makes the final decision
Payment Methods
Bank Draft or Personal Cheque: Cheques and drafts should be made payable to ‘Brentwood College School’. Payments received in US funds will be exchanged to Canadian funds using the rate on the date your payment is deposited.

You can track your payment during the transfer process and have access to customer support 24 hours a day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our goal is to make the financial aid application process as transparent and accessible as possible. While our financial aid budget is limited, we are committed to using our resources to ensure that as many qualified students as possible have access to the education they deserve. Each year, Brentwood provides financial assistance to nearly a quarter of our student body.

Are international students eligible to receive financial aid?
Yes. Like all students, international applicants must fill out the Apple Financial application referenced above.
Who is responsible for completing the financial aid application in the case of divorced or separated parents?
In cases of divorce or separation, Brentwood College School requires information from both parents and any stepparents. Each parent must complete and submit a financial aid application, as the family’s ability to contribute is based on both parents’ and any stepparents’ financial information. Please contact us to discuss your particular circumstances if you feel they are extenuating.
Is a business tax return required from parents who own their own business(es)?
Yes. Parents will need to provide their business tax return, if applicable, as well as their personal tax return.
When will we be notified if we have received a financial aid award from Brentwood?
Parents of prospective students will be notified of any award decision when Apple Financial Services (AFS) sends their recommendation to our committee. Parents will be notified once our committee has reviewed that AFS recommendation and has made a decision.
Parents of returning students:
The amount families can reasonably afford to contribute toward meeting the cost of a Brentwood education is reviewed annually. Your contribution may increase, decrease, or remain the same depending on the change in your financial circumstances from year to year. We make our awards based on the most currently-available tax information. This is why we require you to reapply for financial aid each year.
