Has anyone in the DFW area received financial aid for your children's private school? If so, what are the schools criteria and what percentage of the tuition did it cover? I am looking into private schools for my two kids (K and 2nd) and already know we can't afford even the cheapest of private schools. Any advice would help. Thanks!
The Catholic Private Schools seem to offer financial aid that covers tuition up to half. I think you get it based on the need of who all applied, but I'm not positive. You have to reapply for it each year.
You would have to call each school individually. And remember that it is usually only "good" for one year, you have to reapply each year and may not get it the next year so be prepared for that factor. You may want to save up one year's tuition just in case you don't get it the next year. Tuition is CRAZY! We are looking into Bethesda Christian, one of the cheapest and even it's NOT cheap imo! Good luck finding one!!
I called each and every private school in the phone book and asked what they offered. I had a sheet of paper with columns going down with headers of
FA? If yes, what are the %
Breakfast included?
Free lunch program?
After school care?
What extra curricular activities?
Each school is going to be different and only that school can tell you what they are currently offering. The parents may not even know they offer aid unless they have asked.
