FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Now that I have the means to do so, I feel that it is my duty, and not only my pleasure, to contribute financially to the school so that others may benefit from Appleby and achieve their own leadership roles and goals in life.

"Coming to Appleby is a dream come true. And having that dream come true encouraged me to set new goals, work harder and achieve more than I ever thought I could. Having the student financial assistance programme has made this all possible."

Rich Maggiotto '92, Alumnus

"It's because of the opportunities and experiences that I have had at Appleby that I believe that I can do anything I set my mind to. I've changed since joining Appleby, but change hasn't been forced upon me. Appleby has given me a platform to display myself to the world in any way that I choose. Now I have a choice to do whatever I want with that, and that, in itself is a responsibility."

Innes van Nostrand, Principal

"I'm proud to say that Appleby's financial assistance programme today is quite robust. Over the past decade, approximately $25 million had been provided - from bursaries and loans, to the Centennial Scholars Programme and Sir Edmund Walker Scholarship. Thanks to generous donor support and exemplary financial stewardship, Appleby's student body is as diverse as ever and the varied backgrounds and perspectives of our students are having a positive impact on school dynamics, culture and achievements."

Niall O'Driscoll '80, Alumnus

"Appleby had a life-changing impact on me and without financial assistance, I simply wouldn't have been able to attend. Appleby gave me the foundation to continue my education at MIT in Columbia and to work as a technology entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. But more importantly, it gave me an understanding of the value of well-timed assistance in the lives of individuals and communities and that's been a guiding principle for me since I graduated."

Chelsey Roy '06, Alumna

"I was a student on financial assistance at Appleby ten years ago. Now I'm proud to run an accessible law practice in B.C. where I work with small businesses everyday to help them grow and succeed. I've also made a commitment to give back to Appleby's Financial Assistance programme so that I can pay it forward to future generations of Appleby students."

IMPACT

Students deserve every opportunity to pursue an education that excites and challenges them and offers them a chance to discover their passions.

Appleby College's commitment to Financial Assistance is designed to ensure that students can pursue such an outstanding education. An Appleby education requires a significant commitment and we believe financial need should never prevent a student from reaching their full potential.

A world-class education not only requires exceptional faculty, programmes, and facilities, it also demands a diverse socioeconomic student body. Having a talented range of students, regardless of their backgrounds, is one of the central hallmarks of great schools and it's a vital part of the Appleby College experience.

All Financial Assistance decisions at Appleby are need-based and are designed to assist families who believe in an Appleby education but are unable to meet the full financial commitments.

SUPPORT

Students deserve every opportunity to pursue an education that excites and challenges them and offers them a chance to discover their passions.

"I was able to attend Appleby because of past donors. My donations now help other bright and hardworking students succeed a Appleby, so I am happy to do it."
