Financial Aid Policy:
The purpose of the Financial Aid Program at Aiken Preparatory School is to provide financial assistance to deserving students who need it in order to enroll. Financial aid is available in the form of outright grants.
All financial aid at Aiken Prep is need based with individual merit being a consideration after the need is established. The School and Student Services by the National Association of Independent Schools bases eligibility upon a standard application process that is objectively reviewed. Applications should be submitted on-line at www.sss.nais.org. Applicants for financial aid must also submit their 2009 IRS 1040 form to the school. This financial analysis is evaluated by a Financial Aid Committee which makes all grant awards.
Over 51% of Aiken Prep students receive reduced tuition.
