You've applied - maybe you've been accepted - and now, IT IS TIME TO PAY. Financial aid is the scariest part of the private school process because it is full of unknowns, but it does not have to be. Armed with just a few data points, some background and some information, families can have a massive impact on their financial aid grants.
Ryan Abramson: Getting Financial Aid for Private Schools
As a Bucks County expert in financial aid, I (Ryan Abramson) have helped families learn the financial aid process. After more than a quarter of a century listening to stories, helping families find a good fit, and even facing the hard reality that some things are not possible, the general comments are always the same:
We moved into this school district because it has great schools. We pay enormous taxes. Now our son/daughter wants to go to private school.
We’ve saved for college, but not for high school. Do we use that money now and hope for a scholarship later?
The website says tuition is $15,000, but my neighbor says they only pay $5,000. How do I get that deal?
The list could go on for pages. Ultimately, understanding the financial aid landscape is your best tool for achieving the best results. I've even created a special Tool Box for Financial Aid to help families going through the process.
