Academic rock stars wanted!

Millennium Scholarships are funded by a designated gift from an alumni family who supports Barrie’s efforts to recruit new students with exemplary levels of academic achievement to join the Middle and Upper School Program.   

As a result, new applicants who meet the academic and extracurricular criteria are considered for the scholarship. Former Barrie students who have attended another educational institution for at least two full school years will be eligible as long as they meet the same standards of exemplary achievement and left Barrie in excellent standing. Siblings of current Barrie students are also eligible.

Please note: Current students, international students, as well as children and relatives of Barrie School faculty, staff, and trustees are not eligible to apply. 

The number of awards will be determined based on the depth and competitiveness of the applicant pool each year.

Given that the award lasts through graduation, scholarship recipients will be able to experience an extraordinary education at an exceptional tuition level. With this in mind, scholarship families will be expected to contribute the difference between the overall tuition level and their award, as well as absorb any annual tuition increases and pay any additional standard fees.*  

Please note that all books are included in tuition and are offered to students at no additional cost.

*These include fees associated with Extended Study Week, as well as optional services such as bus transportation, and  Extended Day and After School Enrichment for Grades 6-8.

Millennium Scholarships will be allocated solely on academic achievement and will be awarded independent of financial need. Financial aid is awarded based on a family’s financial profile. Students who may require financial aid above the scholarship award are encouraged to apply through the standard financial aid submission process.

Students who have submitted all required documentation by the deadline will receive notification of their scholarship status and level of their financial aid when they learn about their acceptance during the first week of March.
