Financial Aid

Financial Aid is available for families enrolling students in K5 through 12th grade and that demonstrate a need. It is awarded on a first come, first served basis. Please note that under current financial aid guidelines, the highest percent awarded is 50% of the tuition. In most cases, financial aid falls in the 10 - 30% range. Families receiving financial aid may not receive additional “special” discounts.

All financial aid applications must be processed on-line through FACTS, our tuition management company. To apply, CLICK HERE. There is a $40 application fee due upon submission of the financial aid application, and no application will be reviewed until complete. Your prior year income tax return will be required, and families will be notified in writing by an email from FACTS of any financial assistance being awarded. Please allow a minimum of three weeks for processing and award notification.

Financial aid must be secured for each individual school year. Families presently receiving financial aid will not automatically receive aid each year. A complete Financial Aid Request must be filed each year demonstrating continued need for support, along with the appropriate enrollment fee.

 

Deadlines:

May 1st is the deadline for financial aid applications for returning families.  New families need to apply no later than May 31st.   Applications are reviewed once all documentation is received and verified by FACTS.  Please note that there is the possibility that financial aid may be exhausted prior to the May 31st deadline so do not delay.
