Optional Services
Affording GWA
The George Walton Academy financial aid program exists to provide qualified students in grades K5–12, whose families require financial assistance, the opportunity to pursue a George Walton Academy education. GWA is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive community that reflects a broad range of socioeconomic backgrounds.
George Walton Academy maintains a need-blind admissions process; a student’s eligibility for financial aid is not considered in admission decisions. To assist in evaluating family financial need, GWA partners with FACTS Grant & Aid, an advisory company that provides a need-based financial aid analysis, including a recommendation of the amount each family can reasonably contribute toward tuition. The distribution of financial aid awards is based on demonstrated student need, the academic and non-financial contributions of the student and family, and the availability of space and funding.
FACTS FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION
"GWA was life shaping for me. I made life-long friends, learned from amazing teachers, and contributed to a supportive community. I was incredibly prepared for a complete college experience balancing varsity athletics and difficult academics, and I am thankful for my 6 years at GWA that prepared me so well.”
