Tuition and Affordability

Augusta Prep realizes that an independent education is an investment and for some families, this may stretch a family’s resources. Therefore, Augusta Prep has multiple resources to offer financial support to mission-appropriate students in Grades K-12 whose families demonstrate financial need. On average, 30% of our families receive scholarships and tuition assistance.

 

List of 4 items.

  • What is Flexible Tuition?

    Flexible Tuition is a need-based tuition assistance program that allows families to apply for reduced tuition taking their financial circumstances into account. This process looks at what a family can afford and what is the fair share a family will pay for tuition.

    Flexible Tuition is designed to make an Augusta Prep education accessible to more families by meeting the needs of each family’s unique financial situation. Therefore, all mission appropriate students are afforded the opportunity to be a part of the Prep community.
  • Is my family eligible for Flexible Tuition?

    Flexible Tuition is offered to students in Grades K-12. There is a wide range of families who qualify, from those who can afford only minimal tuition to those who can afford almost full tuition. We recognize that every family situation is different and that even a small amount of reduced tuition can make a critical difference for many families. All families who feel they cannot meet the full tuition obligation are encouraged to apply for assistance and must complete the Clarity application.
