Tuition Assistance
Our school community provides more than $1 million in tuition assistance each year. Nearly 15% of our families benefit from some level of assistance.
Tuition Assistance Process FAQs
The most helpful guideline in deciding to apply comes from your knowledge of your family’s finances. Each family’s financial circumstances are unique and a number of factors are considered in calculating tuition assistance. Without a completed tuition assistance application, it is difficult to determine in advance with certainty who might receive tuition assistance -- or how much would be awarded. Whether applying for assistance or not, many families with students in private school find that to pay tuition, they need to consider their financial habits and choices, and make lifestyle adjustments as needed.
If you have specific questions about tuition or tuition assistance, please contact Kay Westburg in the BCS Finance Office.
