Process

Aid is awarded on the basis of a family’s demonstrated need. “Need” is defined as the difference between tuition plus expenses and a family’s potential expected contribution. To help evaluate demonstrated need, Saint Andrew’s School partners with Clarity, a user-friendly, intuitive, mobile-responsive financial aid platform.

The methodology for determining what a family might reasonably be expected to contribute toward educational expenses considers income, assets, liabilities, and expenses of the student and the parents. It also considers the age of the parent(s), family size and any additional children in tuition charging schools. Ultimately the formula seeks to determine a family’s discretionary income – the income over which a family has the choice as to how it is spent.

Every student that applies for admission to Saint Andrew’s School in Boca Raton, Florida, may also apply for financial aid. Often, more families qualify for financial aid than we are able to fund and, as a result, there may be some families who qualify for aid to whom we are unable to make an award. Since the admission application and financial aid application are two separate processes, a student may be accepted to Saint Andrew’s School but may not be offered financial aid. Though we make every effort to meet a family’s demonstrated need, we may not be able to do so in every case.

As an independent school, Saint Andrew's does not accept federal or state funding or scholarships, as these funds and scholarships may impose significant constraints and obligations on the school - particularly as it relates to operational and programmatic oversight, reporting, and compliance with stated and federal requirements. The school reserves the right to make decisions about the acceptance of outside educational funding, including but not limited to governmental, corporate, and/or private sources. For any queries regarding tuition and aid, please contact our Admission team.
