Commitment to Financial Aid

At Grace Church School, we believe in the idea that all families should have access to a high-quality education, regardless of socioeconomic status. Over 20% of our students receive some form of financial aid, and the average financial aid grant exceeds $54,000 – that’s over 80% of the tuition and fees associated with attending Grace.

Prospective families who seek financial aid should indicate their interest when completing the application for Grace. The financial aid application should be filled out separately, via the Clarity platform. The Financial Aid Committee then reviews each application individually, aiming to obtain a holistic understanding of families’ various financial circumstances. If a prospective student receives an offer of admission from Grace, they will also receive news of their financial aid award, if applicable, with their acceptance letter.

Returning families who seek financial aid must also submit an application via Clarity. Information regarding financial aid awards for returning students will be provided with re-enrollment contracts.

We are thrilled that you are interested in Grace Church School and hope we can support you through this process. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. 

With gratitude,
Shahara Ahmed
Director of Financial Aid & Senior Admissions Associate
