You’re researching independent schools because you value smaller classes, challenging academics, outstanding enrichment programs and “above and beyond” teachers, all of which require a significant financial investment. We understand your desire to provide the best for your children, including maximizing their potential and preparing them for success now and in the future. Affording tuition can be a concern for some families and George Walton Academy makes every effort to work with parents through our financial aid program to help make a GWA education affordable for any motivated and dedicated student who meets our admissions criteria.
GWA financial aid awards provide needs-based, tuition reduction grants for qualified students. Admission to GWA is not dependent upon a family’s ability pay tuition and we encourage interested parents to apply. The Financial Aid Committee reviews the financial aid applications and determines the amount to be awarded to each student.
Qualifying for Financial Aid
There’s no specific income that automatically qualifies a family to receive need-based financial aid at GWA, as income is only one factor considered during the financial aid process. Other factors include (but are not limited to) family size, number of children and family assets.
