Applying for Financial Aid


In order to apply for financial aid, an Apple Financial Services application form must be completed annually. Apple Financial will review the application and provide a report on eligibility to the school’s Financial Aid Committee. The Financial Aid Committee distributes awards as broadly as possible to the most deserving students. The school holds this information in strictest confidence and families are asked to do the same.

The cost to the family for this assessment is $130 and is payable directly to Apple Financial Services. Applications for financial aid are available online through the Apple Financial website at www.applefinancialservices.ca, and should be submitted at the same time that the SMLS application for admission is submitted. For existing SMLS families, the financial aid application must be submitted by January 15th for the following academic year.

Tuition Refund Insurance



We include Tuition Refund Insurance in the monthly and the standard payment plans. Tuition Refund Insurance is optional for the advanced payment plan. For details, click here.
