Financial Aid
The Independent School is committed to providing equitable access to education through our need-based financial aid program, aimed at assisting families in meeting tuition expenses. Our tuition assistance program operates on an annual basis, requiring recipients to reapply each year to ensure continued support.
To apply for tuition assistance, families are required to complete a separate financial aid application through our trusted third-party partner, FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment. While applications are accepted throughout the year, priority consideration is given to those submitted by April 1, ensuring timely processing and allocation of available funds.
