Tuition Assistance

FASPS values socio-economic diversity and strives to be accessible to the widest range of families. We are proud to award over $2 million in tuition assistance every year, supporting about 20% of our families.

  • Needs-based Scholarships: FASPS uses FACTS Grant & Aid to process tuition assistance applications. The system provides an objective and fair evaluation of a family's financial circumstances and recommends the amount a family should reasonably contribute towards tuition. FASPS’s Tuition Assistance Committee makes all final decisions regarding awards based on demonstrated need and available funds. All financial information is kept strictly confidential. To be considered, families must complete the FACTS application (which requires a $45 non-refundable fee) and must have previously completed an admissions application with FASPS. Tuition assistance is awarded annually and families are required to reapply each year with updated financials.
