About the Program
The TFS Entrance Scholarship is a transformative opportunity for exceptional, qualified students whose only barrier to attending TFS is financial.
The school established this scholarship program in 2016 through the generous giving of our community. Each year since, TFS awards one or more promising students entering Grade 7 or above a full scholarship, which covers tuition and ancillary fees like those associated with field trips and extracurriculars.
We cover these costs to make sure that scholarship students are never disadvantaged from their classmates and receive the full benefits of the TFS experience. TFS renews these scholarships annually so long as recipients remain in good standing.
The TFS Entrance Scholarship Program has supported 11 students, with the first recipients graduating over the last three years. These graduates have all continued their academic journey at prestigious universities in Canada and abroad.
How it works
The TFS Scholarship Committee selects recipients through a rigorous vetting process. The committee reviews each applicant’s academic merit, community involvement and financial need. It also hosts interviews with candidates to learn holistically about who they are beyond grades and essays and how they will get the most out of what our school offers.
School leadership does not disclose the identity of recipients to faculty, staff or the student body to ensure equal treatment.
Our Impact
The TFS Entrance Scholarship is an opportunity that can change a young person’s life. It gives them a solid educational foundation. It introduces them to new ways of thinking, problem-solving and communicating. It also challenges any self-limiting notions they may have about their futures. This opportunity empowers scholars to unlock their potential, discover their passions and connect with trusted adults who can help them realize their dreams.
It’s also an opportunity that touches the whole TFS community. Our scholars bring their skills and knowledge home and act as role models for their siblings. Recipients also share a proactive and community-minded spirit, which they bring to our school community by starting clubs and special projects, volunteering at events, or giving their all to their classmates’ initiatives.
The TFS Entrance Scholarship Program creates a community — at TFS and beyond — filled with the best and brightest individuals who reflect and citizens who act. That’s why we can’t wait to expand this transformative program with your help.
