The Trafalgar Castle School Financial Assistance Program has been developed to assist families who believe in the education experience which isprovided by the School, but who are unable to meet the full financial commitment. Need and merit awards may be available to students who contribute in a significant way to life at Trafalgar Castle but whose financial resources limit the possibility of their attending. Application for financial aid is made annually to a third party assessor (Apple Financial Services/ FACS) who make a recommendation to the School.

Please note that only those students whose application for re‐enrolment and re‐enrolment fee has been received will be considered for assistance. All requests for financial assistance are kept strictly confidential.
