Student Financial Need

Applications may be made by DSBN Principals, teachers or youth counsellors. If you are a parent/guardian who would like to apply, please discuss with your school administrator who may submit an application on behalf of your child.

Approval / denial will be communicated to Principals and the DSBN applicant via email within one week. 

Please note: Advance funds are not available. Receipts dated prior to approval are not eligible for reimbursement. For auditing purposes, receipts must be submitted to the Foundation before reimbursement. Refund cheques are made payable to the school.

Maximum application of $100 for student necessities Sep to Dec, and Jan to Jun or $50 for field trips.

If you are applying for glasses, please use the Glasses for Classes link.

The Foundation has partnered with Goodwill Niagara to make the Student Financial Need Fund go further! Through Goodwill, the Foundation can purchase a gift card for half-price, which means your student could get $100 for any Goodwill in the Niagara Region, and $50 from the Foundation to support their needs!

If you are interested in using this opportunity, please indicate so on the Student Financial Need Form.
