Financial Aid: Need-Based Grant Program Overview
Financial Aid Workshops
Who is Eligible?
All families are encouraged to apply. Families of students in K2 (age 5) through Grade 8 are eligible for financial aid. There is limited need-based funding available for pre-K and K1 students. There is a $40 processing fee for the financial aid application. The financial aid process is confidential, and aid is allocated based on financial need determined by the calculations on the FACTS Grant & Aid application, an objective and independent third party.
We allocate aid based on calculated need: income minus expenses, as well as other information the family may provide in support of the aid application. We also take into consideration the school’s policies and the resources available for both re-enrolling and new students. Financial aid will not be awarded to families unless all accounts are in good standing. In order to maintain need-based financial aid, families must make tuition payments on time and reapply for financial aid within the FACTS Grant & Aid system each year.
