 | FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION PROCESS IS CLOSED | PLEASE NOTE THAT POLY PREP'S FINANCIAL AID DEADLINE FOR THE 2011-2012 ACADEMIC YEAR IS JANUARY 24, 2011. |
Poly Prep has a strong commitment to financial aid with a budget of $5.2 million allocated to families without the means to afford the entire cost of a Poly education.
Currently, 28% of the K-12 student population receives financial aid to offset tuition costs. Grant amounts are based on assessment of a family’s financial picture, including income, assets, family size and other factors.
Poly’s Financial Aid Committee reviews all applications and makes financial award decisions annually. The process of selection for financial aid awards is highly competitive and so while the aid is need based, merit is considered when selecting from among those who qualify for need based aid.
Poly also offers several scholarships that do not require a financial aid application. For more information, click on the expandable links below. The committee does not consider financial need when awarding the scholarships, but the awards may or may not be combined with need based financial aid, depending on the candidate selected. Because we have over 600 applications to the 9th grade each year, these scholarships are highly selective.
