The Clariden School is pleased to offer a limited amount of need-based tuition assistance to qualifying students. While we work hard to ensure our tuition is competitive, we recognize that the cost of a private education can be a barrier for some families, and our goal is to make the Clariden experience accessible to all accepted students.
Families wishing to apply for tuition assistance may do so through the FACTS system below. Please note that this is an entirely different login from your student Application for Admission. The tuition assistance process is need-blind, and a family’s application will only be evaluated after a student has been deemed admissible by the Admissions Committee. Admissions decisions are never contingent upon financial need, and determinations regarding tuition assistance are made strictly on the basis of a family’s demonstrated need.
To begin your FACTS Grant and Aid application, please clink the link below. Kindly inform the Office of Admission if you intend to apply for tuition assistance so all application components can be gathered accordingly. If you have any questions at all, please call (682) 237-0400 or email Admissions.
The Clariden School does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, nationality, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, political and social values, culture, religion, physical ability, family structure, or learning style in its administration of admission, financial aid, availability of program, and hiring practices.
