List of 6 items.

• Applying for Tuition Assistance

  Spartanburg Day School works with FACTS, a third party organization, to provide the school with a confidential statement of need based upon the information submitted in the tuition assistance application.

   

  • Students must be accepted to the school prior to receiving a tuition assistance award. However, the two applications can be completed in tandem.
  • There is a $40 fee to complete the FACTS application.
  • Tuition assistance decisions are made without regard to race, color, religion, sexual orientation or ethnic origin.
  • Tuition assistance amounts are determined on the basis of the need of the family.
  • The tuition assistance process is confidential.
  • The parents of each applicant must re-apply annually.

• Tuition Assistance - Required Supporting Documents

  FACTS requires the following documents of all tuition assistance applicants to determine financial need:

  • Copy of your most recent 1040 income tax returns with original signatures
  • Business/Farm Statement and Corporate Tax Return/Schedule C/Schedule F (as needed)
  • Copy of W-2 Forms
  • Copy of most recent pay stub

   

• Payment Schedules

  A deposit of $1000 is required at the time of enrollment. This amount is credited to the total tuition due. 

   

  There are three payment plans to pay the remainder of tuition:

  • An 12-month payment plan
  • A 10-month payment plan
  • A full tuition plan, paid by June 15. 

  (Please note there is a $500 convenience fee for monthly plans.)

   

• Important Dates and Deadlines

  For priority consideration, tuition assistance applications and all supporting documentation for new families must be submitted by Feb. 15.  Applications received after the priority application deadline on Feb. 15 will be considered on a rolling basis.
  
  

  Initial tuition assistance awards are made by March 1st and continue throughout the year based on funding availability. New families have two weeks to formally accept the award within the FACTS system.

• Annual Renewal

  Tuition assistance amounts are determined annually. Each year, parents must re-apply for tuition assistance through FACTS by the Dec. 19 priority deadline. Applications received after Dec. 19 will be considered on a rolling basis.
  
  

  Unless there is a significant change in annual income or available assets, parents can normally expect a similar tuition assistance amount from year to year if the student's performance at the Day School meets the expectations of the Tuition Assistance Committee.

   

• Expenses to Anticipate

  In addition to tuition, students will have a few additional expenses, depending on their grade level. Personal expenses vary from student to student. Lunch is an optional expense at all grade levels. The following provides an estimate of yearly expenses:

  • Lower School: $25-$125 (field trips)
  • Middle School: $100-$500 (books, technology)
  • Upper School: $450-$700 (books, technology)
