Financial Aid

We encourage families to apply for financial assistance where needed. Financial aid helps close the gap between the costs of attending and a family's ability to pay, as determined by the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS). Financial aid is awarded annually in the form of grants and are based upon a demonstration of financial need and a student's individual merit. Several payment plans are also available to accommodate family budgeting and planning needs.
