Financial Aid Program

Overview

Paideia's financial aid program is an important means of promoting socioeconomic diversity within our school community. All financial aid is granted on the basis of financial need and is awarded to students who would not have an opportunity to attend Paideia without assistance. The school does not offer scholarships based on academic or athletic ability or any other demonstrated creative talent.

Our program is internally funded and our resources are limited. Eligibility is determined by the Financial Aid Review Board, and awards are heavily weighted towards students in the high school, junior high, and upper elementary school. Children in the half-day program are not eligible for financial aid. Every family receiving aid is asked by the Review Board to pay some portion of the tuition; there are no awards for 100 percent of tuition. Furthermore, all parents are expected to be working at full capacity.

If you are considering submitting an application for financial aid, please read all the information we have posted online and give yourself ample time to complete the required documents.
