WPGA FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FUND 
WPGA's Financial Assistance Fund was created in 2020 in response to the pandemic. The program is now funded by annual giving, and we are grateful to our many generous donors. 

WPGA's financial assistance program aligns with our philosophy of diversity, equity and inclusion. The program is intended to support prospective and current students from junior kindergarten to grade 12 whose families are not able to afford the full cost of tuition.  

Third-Party Partner and Process
WPGA works with Apple Financial Services (AFS), a member of the Financial Aid for Canadian Students organization. Applications for financial assistance are reviewed by the team at AFS, which ensures equity, zero-bias, and confidentiality in the process.

AFS completes a review of family finances and makes a recommendation regarding financial assistance to the Financial Assistance Committee at WPGA, who then determine how much support can be offered. Financial assistance is based on family need, the number of requests received by the school each year, and the amount of funds available. 

Recipients of financial assistance must reapply each year to determine whether the same level of funding will be recommended and available the following year.

Fees and Deadlines
The estimated turnaround time for AFS is 2-3 weeks upon receipt of an application and necessary documentation. The cost to submit an application to AFS in fall 2023 is $130. If you are applying to more than one school, you pay a $15 additional fee for each other school.

The deadline for financial assistance applications is November 15, 2023.
