Tuition Assistance Program
Deadline
Requests for financial assistance must be completed by January 12, 2026.
Helping offset tuition costs
We take pride in making amazing education accessible. Tuition assistance is available to current and new families of students applying for Kindergarten–Grade 12. Families seeking tuition assistance must file an application through Apple Financial Services Financial Aid for Canadian Students (FACS) analysis program. Tuition assistance (up to a max of 50% of tuition) is determined based on financial need. Applicants will be notified of their assistance level granted.
application process
Apple Financial Services Financial Aid for Canadian Students (FACS) provides Urban Academy with a need-based financial aid analysis service, which ensures that our process for establishing financial need adheres to nationally established standards of best practice. All information from FACS is kept confidential, as is all information pertaining to a family’s financial aid request.
The FACS program is designed to be very responsive to our families and to allow families to represent their own particular circumstances more accurately. Although the majority of funds are distributed in the first round of applications (in January), families are still able to apply for tuition assistance when available after that date.
Financial aid grants are made for one year at a time so, you must re-apply for each year you require assistance. The application process is self-guided, and you may navigate in and out of the program, allowing you to partially complete an application, save your progress, and return to it at another time. There is also a helpline or email support for any questions you may have. The charge for the application is $137.50, to be paid by credit card at the end of the session.
While completing the online application, you will be required to include your tax returns with all schedules and T4’s and any available tax slips.
Financial aid notifications for returning students will be sent out in February. Our goal is to have an award determination made by the time re-enrolment letters of intent are required on the last day of February. Because financial aid funds are limited and demand is high, late filing of materials may result in non-renewal of tuition assistance. If you require more information or assistance, please contact UA Administration at 604-524-2211 or [email protected].
