Tuition & Assistance

No, a family’s financial situation is not taken into account in the admissions process.

There is no defined income range for tuition assistance eligibility. To determine eligibility, the school's Tuition Assistance committee considers income, number of dependents, number of children enrolled in the school, support from family, and the assets of both parents, among other things. Most families adjust spending priorities and carefully manage their assets to be able to afford their children’s education.

Tuition assistance awards pertain to tuition and fees that are listed on the enrollment contract only. All class trips have their own tuition-assistance process.

No. Only one application is required per family.

FACTS is a service that evaluates families’ financial information to arrive at the amount of tuition that a family could reasonably afford to pay that year. FACTS uses information you provide through an online application as well as your supporting tax documentation to make its determination. Hausner’s Tuition Assistance Committee considers the FACTS recommendation in their decision making.

Tuition assistance is a grant and you will not need to repay it. If at some future date your family has the capacity to do so, we hope you will consider making a donation to Hausner’s Annual Fund in order to help keep a Hausner education accessible to other families.

We require all families to submit minimal documentation each year in order to determine the award for the following year. Our award determination process remains largely the same from year to year. Assuming that your family’s financial situation remains the same each year, your family can anticipate receiving approximately the same award. If your family’s financial circumstances should change drastically at any point during the school year, we encourage you to reach out to our team.
