Tuition Assistance
Austin Prep provides tuition assistance to approximately 35% of our students. Our tuition assistance program is a needs-based grant program. The Heritage Grant Awards help defray the cost of education for families who qualify solely on the basis of demonstrated financial need. Austin Preparatory School uses FACTS Financial Aid and Grant Assessment, an online application to evaluate tuition assistance requests. The Financial Aid Committee will only review and evaluate requests for new students after they are accepted for admission to Austin Prep and for current students who are in good standing. Additionally, applications will only be considered when all information is complete, including the upload of required income tax documentation. Applications that are not complete, do not include the financial information of both parents when applicable, or are missing supporting documentation will not be considered for tuition assistance.
Financial Aid Process and Timeline
Important Information about Tuition Assistance
-
A Financial Aid application must be completed in advance of each school year before December 15th in order to be considered for tuition assistance for the subsequent school year.
-
The FACTS application must reflect the financial information of both surviving parents. In situations where the parents are separated or divorced, two FACTS applications may be filed to satisfy this requirement.
-
Late applications, submitted after a new student is accepted or after the online enrollment agreement is released, are not reviewed unless the family notifies the financial aid committee at apfinancialaid@austinprep.org.
