The TFS Entrance Scholarship Program provides an opportunity for exceptional students entering Grade 7 or above to benefit from an enriched learning environment. All of our students graduate bilingual in English and French, and are accepted into their university of choice, in Canada and worldwide.

TFS will award scholarships to students who demonstrate high academic standing, involvement in their school and/or community, as well as financial need. Entrance Scholarships are renewable every year until graduation, if the student maintains an average of 80% and meets the conditions noted on the right side of this page.

Students do not need to speak French to apply for Grade 7 scholarships, but must be keenly interested in becoming bilingual. Students in Grade 8 and above must be fluent in French.

We are now accepting applications for the 2021-2022 scholarships and encourage students who are seeking an exceptional education to apply. Applying is easy, and TFS will support you at every stage! If you have any questions about scholarships, please contact our Admissions Office.

The Entrance Scholarship is open to Canadian residents only.

Why TFS?

  • As the pioneer of French immersion in Canada, TFS provides an exceptional bilingual education that is academically rigorous and balanced. Our students graduate fully bilingual in French and English, and obtain the French Brevet and internationally recognized IB Diploma. Learn more about the IB program and about the French program.
  • Consistent with TFS’ yearly results, 100% of our graduates of 2019 were distinguished as Ontario Scholars (averages of 80%+) and 79% had averages above 90%.
  • Not surprisingly, 100% of our 2019 graduates received university offers of choice.
  • Renowned for our strength in academics and languages, TFS also offers a wealth of co-curricular activities, including sports, arts and opportunities to engage in social/community action. Our students become friends for life, and in our co-educational environment, boys and girls learn teamwork, teambuilding and cooperative behaviour together.
  • TFS prepares its students to enter the university and career of their choice, while becoming engaged citizens of the world.

How to Apply?
TFS is currently accepting scholarship applications for candidates to begin their studies with us in September 2021. To start, please complete our online application. In addition to completing the application form, student candidates and their parents will be asked to:

  • Submit the most recent report card and the previous two years’ final reports. The academic record should demonstrate a minimum A average. Include any special awards or records of achievement.
  • Send the Confidential School Report to their current school to be completed and forwarded directly to TFS.
  • Submit two (2) letters of recommendation. These can be from a teacher, school administrator, coach or other adult (non-family member) who is knowledgeable about the student’s strengths, accomplishments, special interests and potential.
  • Choose to write either TFS' tests or the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT). If the candidate is currently enrolled in a French program, they may also be asked to write a TFS French competency test.
  • Submit a financial assessment application to Apple Financial by November 27, 2020. A Scholarship Committee will review all applications. Selected candidates will be invited to attend a personal interview with the Scholarship Committee in February 2021.

We are here to help applicants through the process. Please fill out the form below and we will quickly be in touch?!

Eligibility

  • Academic eligibility: candidates should be able to demonstrate a minimum A average in the past two academic years.
  • Financial eligibility: We define financial need as a family’s inability to pay for even a portion of TFS’ tuition fees. The Entrance Scholarships are meant to provide an enriched learning opportunity to an exceptional student who would not otherwise have the resources to attend TFS.
  • As financial need depends on the circumstances and composition of each family, no firm thresholds are set. However, families (including single parents and recent arrivals to Canada) are strongly encouraged to apply if their annual income is less than $80,000.
  • Students currently in immersion or French schools are strongly urged to apply, as well as those in English-language schools (applying to Grade 7). Grade 7 entrance scholars who are not fluent in French will enter our special Intro program for the first year, which follows the regular curriculum but with a special focus on language acquisition. This is offered at our West Campus in Mississauga; busing may be available.
  • Scholarships are intended for domestic applicants only, defined as students living in Canada at the time of application. It is the responsibility of the family to obtain any visa/permits necessary to live and study in Canada.

About Company

TFS holds a special place in history as the pioneer of French immersion education in Canada. Today, as a French and multilingual international school, we are in a unique position to empower our students to become accomplished individuals, as well as responsible citizens who consciously choose to make a positive difference in the world. In fact, that is precisely the sentiment expressed in our motto: Individuals who reflect, citizens who act.

Our school has long been renowned for its excellent academics. In addition, our identity is deepened by ascribing to specific values – integrity, discernment, respect and engagement – that are lived by staff and nurtured in students every day. Ultimately, a TFS education is based on three major pillars: academic ambition, all-round development and an international perspective.

In the first place, we want our students to exude academic ambition, to have a knowledge-seeking spirit that embraces the importance of continuous effort and sees challenge as an opportunity for learning. We encourage them to adopt a growth mindset, where they never say, “I can’t do that,” but rather, “I can’t do that yet.”

We also want our students to benefit from an all-round development as individuals and citizens. We facilitate their acquisition of skills for life, such as self-confidence, team spirit, creativity, initiative and entrepreneurship. We nurture a sense of citizenship through our mentorship program, assemblies and societies. In addition, they have many opportunities to explore and develop a range of passions in areas such as athletics and the arts through a broad variety of clubs and other co-curricular activities.
