Opening Doors to a Kells Academy Education

Since 1978, Kells Academy has provided a quality education to thousands of students, each with their own unique background, story, and strengths. We believe that every student deserves an education that sets them up for success in the future. That is why Kells is proud to offer financial assistance in the form of bursaries. These monetary awards offset the cost of tuition for students with a demonstrated need. Due to the limited amount of assistance resources, bursaries are issued on a case-by-case basis.

Eligibility

Financial aid is available for grades K-11.
The deadline to apply for the 2025-2026 school year is May 1st 2025.
Due to limited resources, students must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents in order to qualify for financial aid. We hope to broaden our eligibility criteria in the future as the Kells Financial Aid program grows.
During the bursary application process, families wishing to be considered must demonstrate financial need using supporting documentation. A list of supporting documentation can be found here.

Application Process

  • In order to be eligible for a bursary for the 2025/26 school year, the application must be completed by May 1st 2025.
