student financial assistance

Each year, more than $1.8 million in financial assistance is awarded to new and returning families at De La Salle College. This support is made possible through the generosity of our donors, parents, alumni, and friends of the College.

Families applying for admission who require financial assistance  must submit a financial assistance application at the same time as their admissions application. The admissions application deadline to apply is the first Friday in December. The financial assistance application is due no later than January 8, 2027. After this date, families will not be considered for financial assistance.

Financial assistance is awarded based on demonstrated financial need and is administered through Apple Financial Corporation's FACS (Financial Aid for Canadian Students) Program in partnership with the Office of the President at De La Salle College. Financial assistance is available to Canadian citizens only, and families must reapply each year to be considered.

De La Salle College believes that families should contribute toward the cost of their child's education whenever possible. All financial assistance decisions made by the President and his committee are final.

Applications are completed through Apple Financial Services at applefinancialservices.ca. If you have questions about the application process, please contact Apple Financial Corporation at 1-866-437-7795. Financial assistance decisions are communicated at the same time as admissions offers. As funding is limited, families are encouraged to apply early to allow sufficient time to complete the application and submit all required supporting documentation.
