Maharishi School

Families seeking the best educational opportunities for their children understand that private school is an investment. Maharishi School strives to attract the best possible students by making this investment as affordable as possible through our generous financial aid program.

Fees cover academic study, textbooks, and classroom supplies. Field trips and extracurricular activities are the responsibility of the family.

*Afternoon Childcare for the Preschool is $5/hour and is billed at the start of each month.

Financial Aid

We offer financial aid because we believe that every child who wants to experience a Consciousness-Based education should have access regardless of financial limitations.

If you feel you’ll need assistance to attend Maharishi School, we encourage you to apply for financial aid and we’re here to support you through the process.

Maharishi School provides generous financial aid in the form of outright grants: nothing to pay back. Any family filing U.S. or Canadian tax returns may apply. Need-based financial aid is not offered to international students.

• Domestic day students (Kindergarten-12th grade) can receive up to 80% off tuition costs.
• Toddler – PreKindergarten students may be eligible for grants through two organizations: the Iowa Department of Human Services (DHS) and Early Childhood Initiative (ECI). ECI grants are available for 3-5-year-old students valued at up to $1,800 per year. Grants and scholarships for students qualifying for DHS are valued at $3,200-$5,600 per year. Maharishi School financial aid (using the FAIR application) is not available for Toddler-PreKindergarten families.

For priority consideration, complete the aid application by April 15. Additional financial aid may be given out later if funds are available. Financial aid applications for returning students will not be considered after June 15 (for Fall semester) and December 15 (for Spring semester).

Maharishi School uses Financial Aid Independent Review (FAIR) for the assessment of financial aid need. All forms are submitted to FAIR directly through their website portal. Families should apply for financial aid during or shortly after submitting the application for admission.
