• Financial assistance is available in the form of academic scholarships and need-based financial aid in the form of grants and work study.

 

• The maximum amount of tuition assistance that is available is 65% of the current tuition.

 

• No assistance is available for fees. Academic Scholarships

Need-based Financial Assistance
There are two types of need-based financial assistance that are available to families who qualify - Grants and Work Study
 

• Grants are awarded based on financial need and are a direct reduction of tuition.

Students are assigned work in building maintenance, front office jobs, etc. Work is performed before and after school, on weekends, and during the summer. Student must actually do the work before receiving a credit on their tuition statement.
