Appleby College’s commitment to financial assistance is designed to ensure that financial need should not prevent a student from reaching their full potential. All financial assistance decisions are need based and are designed to assist families who believe in an Appleby education but are unable to meet the full financial commitments. Applications are reviewed by an independent financial services firm, Apple Financial Services. To access the financial assistance application forms, please visit http://www.applefinancialservices.ca/. Students applying for financial assistance are strongly encouraged to submit their application in concurrence with their admissions application as it can take four to six weeks for Apple Financial Services to process.

*Vericant is only available in China. To learn more about Vericant, please visit http://students.vericant.com/. Appleby reserves the right to request an English language test pending results of the Vericant interview.
