Applying for Financial Aid

Financial aid available for
families that qualify!

Families who are awarded our full tuition financial aid package will be able to enroll their child(ren) for the minimum processing payment of $50 per child.

Families who are awarded a partial tuition financial aid package will have their fee scaled based on their income. These awards value between 20-85% tuition cost.

Applications for scholarships will be evaluated on the basis of need. Annual income is used as the primary indicator of need. Other factors that contribute to family hardship such as sudden job loss or costly medical treatment may also be taken into consideration on a case by case basis. Documentation must be provided to verify any such factors.
