Financial Aid

Somersfield Academy provides education for students ages 3 to 16 years, irrespective of the student's religion, beliefs, ethnic or national origins. The school's bursary programme was established to support families who wish their children to attend Somersfield Academy but who are unable to afford the set tuition. Bursary allocations are made solely on the basis of financial need, and are not made on the basis of academic, athletic or any other merit.

Families are eligible for bursaries provided they meet the following requirements:

• All information and documentation required on the application form is submitted on an annual basis by the dates indicated.
• The family demonstrates evidence of financial need.
• The student and the family follow all school guidelines and requirements regarding attendance, homework, and behaviour. The family is also required to volunteer time to activities as outlined in the Parent Handbook.

The purpose of the Bursary Application Form is to help the school determine your family's expected financial contribution towards your children's education. Factors such as marital status, family size and income are considered against allowances for average living expenses for food, housing, education and savings. We will not be asking you about your personal expenditure.

If you do not already do so, we highly recommend that you develop a family budget to carefully identify your spending patterns.

The application is divided into six areas of inquiry. Please ensure to include all supporting documents required in step six. If you need assistance in completing this form, please contact the Head of the School.
