Should every returning Nardin Academy family submit an application for Tuition Assistance?
No. Only families who feel they may not be able to pay full tuition should submit a financial application. If affordability is a concern for your family, we encourage you to apply for Tuition Assistance.
Do I need to apply for Tuition Assistance every year?
Yes. A new application may be submitted every year because a family’s financial situation can change from year-to-year.
If I do not qualify for the program this year, can I apply again next year?
Yes. A family that does not qualify is welcome to reapply the following year. Again, a family’s financial situation can change from year-to-year.
Are some families awarded full tuition?
No. Every family is required to make a financial investment in their child’s education. Our commitment in providing Tuition Assistance means that we are sharing in that investment with you.
Where does the funding come from to support Tuition Assistance?
Like most independent schools, funding comes from our Annual Fund, Endowment, and other revenue generating activities such as our athletic facility rentals.
What kind of economic situation is typical of a family who qualifies for Tuition Assistance?
A wide range of families with a variety of circumstances may qualify for the program. It is our desire to enroll as many talented, hard-working students as possible and we would like to provide access and affordability towards our outstanding education. If affordability is a concern for a family, we encourage you to apply for Tuition Assistance.
Will Tuition Assistance lead to larger class sizes?
No. Nardin Academy will continue to accept qualified, mission-appropriate students who have a high level commitment to their studies.
