Bursary and Scholarships
Bursary Support

Bursaries ensure partial fee relief for your child to attend our early intervention program for up to a year and are means tested.
More details are coming soon. In the meantime feel free to apply!

Scholarships enable your child to attend our early intervention program for up to a year and can provide partial or full fee relief.*
Many of our supporters like to engage with the scholarship recipients through a yearly morning tea and request to be informed of the impact of their support.
