We are pleased to announce that the 2025-26 financial aid application is now open! Please note that CMS has adjusted the financial aid cycle to align with our fiscal year, shifting from a September–August cycle to a July–June cycle. This means that financial aid applications are now due earlier than in previous years.
All current families interested in financial aid for the 2025-26 cycle must apply, including those that submitted applications in the current cycle up to April 1, 2025. Financial aid does not automatically renew, and new applications must be submitted each year to be considered. Review the submission guidelines, required documentation, financial aid policy, and household income guidelines before completing the application.
