Financial Aid
As part of its founding philosophy and mission, Geneva School remains committed to providing need-based financial aid to qualifying families. Our financial aid program assists families to the extent of our annual financial aid budget. After our admissions committee accepts an applicant to Geneva School, financial aid awards are made based on a family’s demonstrated need and the availability of funds. We also offer scholarships to qualified candidates.
As with many independent schools, we enlist the TADS to help us gather necessary information we require. It is important to note that TADS does not determine the amount of financial aid awarded, but merely assists the School in determining a family's ability to contribute. Award decisions are made by our financial aid committee based on the parents' financial statement submitted to TADS, as well as additional factors and special circumstances. Awards are distributed according to our budget for financial aid. Notification of awards will be sent in conjunction with our enrollment decision letter. We encourage those in need of financial aid to begin the process as early as possible. Submission of requests for financial aid begins by completing the TADS financial aid application. Financial aid applications are available beginning October 1, and must be submitted by December 1. Questions may be addressed to the TADS toll-free help line at (800) 477-8237.
