Invest in Quality Education
The Sacred Heart School of Montreal is deeply committed to nurturing an inclusive and diverse educational environment.
Recognizing that financial barriers should not impede access to quality education, we instituted the Bursary Fund as a cornerstone of our commitment to inclusivity.
Our ability to offer this financial support is made possible through the unwavering dedication and generosity of the Sacred Heart Community.
A variety of carefully orchestrated fundraising initiatives further fortify the fund, ensuring its long-term sustainability.

NEW! GRADE 7 ENTRANCE SCHOLARSHIP

Four scholarships of $5,000 are awarded annually to applicants who demonstrate academic excellence and a strong potential to contribute positively to the Sacred Heart community.
The Sacred Heart Bursary Program
The Sacred Heart School of Montreal offers need-based bursaries to ensure financial limitations do not prevent access to a Sacred Heart education. Awards can offset tuition fees and other related fees. This assistance helps students of diverse socioeconomic backgrounds who have the ability to succeed academically but may not have the economic means to pay full tuition.
It is thanks to the generosity of City House Foundation and the Sacred Heart Community that funding to the bursary program is made possible. We are particularly honoured to count the Stanley & Josefina Clarke Family Endowment Fund among our distinguished supporters. Their substantial contribution significantly enriches our Bursary Program, enabling us to extend the reach of our educational opportunities to more deserving students.
Need-based bursaries are assessed confidentially through Apple Financial Services (AFS), a trusted third-party platform.
AFS has been providing bursary and financial assistance analysis to independent schools across Canada since 1993.
The online fee is $137.50 for the first school you list and $15.00 for each additional one. This fee includes taxes and is non-refundable. The cost for an additional application, in the case of separated/divorced families is $50.00. An application can be processed only for schools that are members of AFS.
Application instructions for AFS are available once you have created your username and password.
