Financial Aid and Bourses Scolaires

FASRI assists qualified families in need of financial aid.
• Families currently receiving financial aid must reapply each year.
• Financial aid applications are accepted for students in Kindergarten and above.

For families with a child in Kindergarten at FASRI, the school will accept an application including younger siblings in the lower grades. Funds dedicated to financial aid may not be sufficient in every case to cover all needs.

The application deadline for the 2023/24 academic year is February 15, 2023. Applications will not be considered if they are received after this deadline. To be eligible for financial aid, students must show consistent academic proficiency and positive behavior. Both student and family must demonstrate support and respect for the school's mission and values. In addition to this, current families must be in good financial standing with the school.

FASRI uses the online service of Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) to process applications. The service does not decide whether financial assistance will be given or how much to give, but it provides a need-based financial aid analysis and a recommendation for what a family should reasonably contribute toward tuition. All information from FAST is kept confidential. Results are reviewed and awards made by FASRI's Financial Aid Committee are based on total need and resources available in the financial aid budget. Upon approval by the Committee, financial aid offers are sent to families at the time of enrollment.
