• Incomplete applications and/or missing documents will delay the application process and suspend financial aid consideration until all items are received.

2. AWARD NOTIFICATION

• If your application is complete and you meet the March 31, 2025 deadline, you may expect to receive written notification from the school by mail by May 1, 2025. As funds are limited, it is important to meet the deadline and requirements listed above.
• A written response must be returned to the School Office by the requested reply date. Failure to reply by the due date is construed as refusal of aid.
• Reconsideration may be requested in writing and should state the reason(s) for reconsideration. Additional information may be requested. Requests without explanation will not be considered.

3. FINANCIAL AID QUALIFICATION

• Based on the availability of scholarship funds, applicants are evaluated on their family’s ability to pay, relative to that of other families, and on overall student performance and potential.
• No award is given unless prior years’ tuition and all fees are paid in full by May 1, 2025. An award may be withdrawn within a school year if financial obligations are not kept current.
• Financial Aid awards are made for one academic year and are applicable toward tuition only. Parents must reapply for each new school year. Awards may be withdrawn or adjusted based on the following: 1) availability of funds; 2) student academic or disciplinary issues; 3) financial assistance no longer required; 4) delinquent accounts; 5) information provided was falsified, 7) non-attendance at sponsored workshops/seminars, or 8) withdrawal.
