2019-20 School Year:
Renewal and New families may apply now for the Gardiner Scholarship for the 2019-20 school year.
Note: Renewal families will have funding priority until June 30, 2019. If a renewal family applies after this deadline and funding is not available at the time an award determination is made, the student may be placed on a waitlist.
All new students found eligible for the Gardiner Scholarship will be placed on a waitlist, due to a requirement to provide renewal students priority. Once the deadline for renewal priority has passed (June 30, 2019), and depending on available funding, students will be moved from the waitlist in this order: 1) students who were on the 2018-19 waitlist, 2) new students.
Applications will be processed in the order received.
