Financial Aid
Holy Name of Mary College School is an independent school, though the tuition is not intended to exclude students on a financial basis. An income-based bursary program is available to those in need of financial assistance. We encourage families to seek financial assistance when required.
The Programme offers financial assistance helps offset the cost of tuition and operates through FAST (Financial Aid for School Tuition) – by Independent School Management (ISM), in conjunction with the HNMCS Bursary Committee.
Families apply for bursaries during the application process and must re-apply for bursary assistance annually. Applications for bursary assistance should be made by November 30.
Funds are limited, so please submit early and give yourself time to complete the financial assistance application, with corresponding documents. New families must apply for bursary assistance at the same time as the admission application. All decisions made by the Bursary Committee are final.
