A school bursary is need-based financial assistance that may reduce fees for an eligible family experiencing financial hardship.
How does a bursary work?
Families apply through the school's current process and provide the information needed for a confidential assessment. Assistance is not automatic and may be reviewed over time.
Why this matters for parents
Unexpected financial circumstances can place pressure on a family's ability to continue schooling. A clear bursary process creates a pathway for eligible families to seek support.
Learning through the lens of Christ
The program reflects Christian concern for dignity, stewardship and bearing one another's burdens. Applications should be handled without comparison of a child's worth or ability.
How can families apply?
Eligibility, evidence, timing and the form of assistance are governed by Covenant's current policy. Families should contact the appropriate school team for confidential guidance.
