Financial Aid Award details

We base our financial aid criteria for all students on the same financial aid criteria as prominent universities in the area such as Stanford University.

Per Stanford’s website, eligibility is based not only on family income level, but also on the size of the family, number of family members in college and family assets among other factors.

• For family income less than $65,000 annually, tuition plus room and board are covered.

• For family income less than $150,000 annually, tuition alone is covered.

We will follow the same pattern.
