Tuition, fees, and scholarships

Tuition for 2026-2027

Every family also pays a $75 application fee, a one-time $500 new-student fee in the first year, and a $150 FACTS tuition management fee each year. Tuition has not changed for three years.

Payment plans

Plan A	One payment of the full tuition, due June 1.
Plan B	Two equal payments, due June 1 and December 1, with a 2% fee on the full tuition.
Plan C	Ten equal monthly payments from June 1 through March 1, with a 4% fee on the full tuition.

All tuition and fees are billed through your FACTS account. Payments made after their due date carry a 7% late fee, and a student whose tuition or fees are more than 30 days late is asked to withdraw until the balance for the year is paid in full. Tuition and fees apply only to the school year listed.

What it can add up to

Take a family enrolling a kindergartner, where an older sibling already attends. Tuition is $32,000. The state scholarship brings $8,745. The sibling scholarship brings $4,000. If the family qualifies for the full FACTS grant, that is another $10,000. The year comes to about $9,255 in tuition, before fees, paid in up to ten installments. A student with an FES-UA award at a higher support level could see the whole tuition covered.
