Fee Waiver Program

Guided by the principle that finances should not be a barrier to a child's education, Northern Gateway Public Schools will waive fees for independent students or parents/guardians if they meet specific income guidelines, receive social services, or face exceptional circumstances. If you qualify, you may apply using the application form for a waiver of fees.

Fee Waiver Application

The NGPS Board of Trustees, with support from the provincial government, has taken significant steps to reduce school fees. While the move will ensure families do not pay unnecessary fees, it is important to note that some fees may still be charged to students. These include fees for optional activities and purchases such as field trips, swim programs, yearbooks, school wear, extra-curricular activities, etc.
