Tuition Assistance
In an effort to keep our community socio-economically diverse, we strive to accommodate as many requests for tuition assistance as possible. Award amounts are based on assessment of a family’s financial picture, including income/expenses, assets, family size, etc., and evaluated by a second party company, FACTS, and our tuition assistance processor, Mission Enrollment. Our Tuition Assistance Committee reviews all applications processed by FACTS and makes financial assistance award decisions annually. Beginning December 1 of each year, one may apply for tuition assistance via Summerfield’s website under the Admissions tab. For those who are newly applying, tuition assistance awards are usually announced in conjunction with decision letters. Please Note: Tuition Assistance is available for Kindergarten through Grade 12. No financial aid is available for Preschool at this time.
