Scholarships and Bursaries

We believe that qualified students should have every opportunity possible to receive or continue a Sacred Heart education. We offer both scholarships and bursaries to qualified students.

Scholarships are based on academic merit and extra-curricular achievement.

Bursary assistance based on demonstrated financial need is available to students at all grade levels. Awards are based on need and are for partial payment of tuition.

We welcome donations to our scholarship and bursary funds which make Sacred Heart School available to students who would otherwise not be able to attend the school.

Scholarships are awarded to students who have attained a high level of academic achievement and who will make a significant contribution to life at Sacred Heart. They have an interest in one or more of the following: music, athletics, environmental issues, student government, and debating. They will also be active in their church community.

Deadline for entrance scholarship applications is: February 25, 2012
