Applying for Financial Aid

St. Andrew’s School Financial Aid Policy

We recognize that not all families interested in St. Andrew’s School may be able to afford the full cost of tuition. Financial assistance is available in the form of need-based aid and payment plans. Please note that St. Andrew’s cannot guarantee funding to all applicants who qualify.

We use School and Student Services (SSS) to process financial aid applications. Based on the financial information you provide in the Parents’ Financial Statement, SSS gives us an estimated amount your family can contribute to our tuition. This estimate, coupled with school policies and practices, is a starting point to help us make objective decisions. For a comprehensive guide to the financial aid process as outlined by SSS.

The Financial Aid process is separate from the admissions process. Financial Aid decisions will only be made after a student has applied to and been accepted to the St. Andrew’s School and all necessary financial aid paperwork has been received by SSS.

Financial Aid Program

Program Goal

Recognizing that families seeking a St. Andrew’s School education bear the primary responsibility to pay the tuition and additional costs, the goal of the financial aid program is to bridge the gap between family contribution and total cost of attendance. Financial aid is awarded on the basis of documented financial need of the family and the availability of funds.

Financial Aid decisions are prioritized in the following order:

• Current St. Andrew's School families who have received aid in the past, apply on time, and qualify for aid.
• New applicants to the 6th and 9th grades who apply on time and qualify for aid.
• Current St. Andrew's School families who have not received aid in the past, apply on time, and qualify for aid.
• Current St. Andrew's School families who have received aid in the past, qualify for aid, but apply late.
• New applicants who qualify for aid but apply late.
