Financial Assistance & Scholarships

Sir Edmund Walker Scholarship

Effective for the 2024-25 school year, Appleby College will award up to five new incoming students a $20,000 annual scholarship to be used towards their tuition fees. Named after the school’s founding patron, the scholarship recognizes new incoming students who have demonstrated exceptional leadership skills, both inside and outside the classroom. The scholarship is open to all day, boarding and international students, regardless of their financial need. All scholarship recipients will also be eligible to apply for Appleby’s $5.8 million Financial Assistance Programme.

“With the Sir Edmund Walker Scholarship Programme, we are reinforcing our commitment to supporting exceptionally talented and motivated students who are on the path of becoming tomorrow’s leaders,” said Innes van Nostrand, Principal. “As one of Canada’s most eminent businessmen of his time, Sir Edmund Walker’s vision for Appleby College was to produce potential leaders for the nation, who aspired for more than money, and who understood the importance of the world beyond Canada. This vision lives on today.”

Students interested in applying for the 2024-25 Sir Edmund Walker Scholarship Programme must meet the following requirements:

  • Have achieved high academic standing having participated in a rigorous academic programme in their previous two years of schooling. In most cases, students should have an overall average in excess of 85% or letter grade of A- or higher.
  • Have been an elite level participant in athletics, the arts and/or community involvement and demonstrated leadership within these endeavours.
  • Have demonstrated a proven commitment to giving back to others through service leadership within their local community and/or school.
  • Have submitted a written reflective piece describing "How you have made a positive impact on your current school community".

Recipients of the Sir Edmund Walker Scholarship will receive $20,000 per year starting with the recipient’s year of entry and guaranteed to renew annually until graduation or the recipient leaves the school. The full scholarship amount will be applied directly against the recipient’s annual tuition fees.

The Sir Edmund Walker Scholarship will supersede any other financial award. This award will be included as part of any Financial Assistance Programme assessment.
