At Aberdeen Hall we believe part of an enriched school experience involves working and living with people from diverse backgrounds—economic, social, cultural, and religious. To help us achieve this Canadian Citizens unable to pay full tuition are welcome to apply to the school's financial assistance program. Annual awards to both new and returning students are based on demonstrated need along with a number of other criteria. Central to these criteria is the expectation that students and their families actively contribute to the school community, adhere to the Family Handbook, follow the code of conduct and serve as positive ambassadors of Aberdeen Hall. Returning students applying, or reapplying, for financial assistance must be in good academic and social standing.
Financial Assistance applications are available through the Director of Finance and reviewed on an annual basis. Final decisions rest with the Financial Assistance Committee. Requests should only be made after a student has successfully completed the application process and an offer of acceptance has been made.
Aberdeen Hall offers limited scholarships for new applicants only, registering in Grades 9 to 12. Scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate a highly advanced extracurricular pursuit and a commitment to the school’s values. Examples may include:
National citizenship or community service recognition.
Competition at a provincial or national level in sports or the arts.
A consistent record of being a top academic achiever.
Successful candidates and their families are expected to be engaged members of our community that adhere to our handbooks and code of conduct and act as exemplary ambassadors for the school at all times. Please note that qualification for financial assistance (income tested annually) and Canadian Citizenship are also requirements. Scholarships are awarded for the duration of the student’s time at Aberdeen Hall. Non-financial aspects of the scholarship program, including an essay, two references, and in some cases an examination, will be required.
At Aberdeen Hall, we seek to admit well-rounded students who choose to be at our school. We are looking for students who demonstrate leadership through academic performance, involvement in co-curricular activities and civic engagement. We care about our students and seek those who value education and are prepared to enrich our incredible school community.
