AFFORDING PRESENTATION
Economic diversity is an important goal at Presentation. Our ability to attract students from a broad array of economic backgrounds helps us provide a richer educational and social experience for our school community.
Approximately 30% of our current families pay tuition below the top of the tuition scale, making a Presentation education accessible to a wide range of economic circumstances.
Tuition for the 2023-2024 school year: $19,400. Registration and scholastic fees apply to all returning and new families.
Tuition Assistance Policy
The Board of Trustees and school administration of The Presentation School are committed to providing tuition assistance to our families. The Presentation School’s Tuition Assistance Committee (TAC) is dedicated to four principles when making and communicating tuition assistance decisions - Confidentiality, Objectivity, Fairness, and Equity.
TPS utilizes FACTS Grant & Aid to help determine awards for tuition assistance applicants. TPS requires parents to complete the online FACTS application each year assistance is requested. Once the application is complete, FACTS verifies the applicant’s information and determines the suggested financial assistance award based on the submitted data and documentation parents provide in the application. In the case of divorced or separated parents, both parents are required to submit an application via FACTS.
The School, through TAC, reviews the application, the FACTS recommendation, and determines the assistance award. In some cases, the school may require additional information from families to best determine the tuition assistance award.
Until TPS’s committee has received the complete FACTS application (which requires you to upload your completed tax returns) and the supporting documentation, it will be unable to process a family’s request for financial assistance.
It is important for families to understand that once available funds for the upcoming year have been allocated, the school does not have the ability to make more funds available than what has already been allotted for tuition assistance. The school may not consider late or incomplete requests for financial assistance.
Families requesting tuition assistance are required to complete a FACTS Grant & Aid application no later than the due dates below to be considered for tuition assistance for the 2023-24 academic year.
