Tuition
Tuition for the 2008-2009 academic year has been established as $21,900. Upon acceptance, a non-refundable tuition deposit of $3,500 is required. Tuition payments are due in two installments of $9,200 on July 1, 2008 and November 1, 2008.
Financial Assistance
As a small private school, Ben Franklin Academy's scholarship funds are
limited. BFA follows federal guidelines in awarding and administering financial
aid. All aid is awarded on the basis of financial need, and families who
wish to be considered for scholarship assistance must complete the standard
SSS application for determination by the Princeton Financial Aid Service.
Once financial need is established, the BFA Scholarship Committee reviews
all applicants and awards available funds at its discretion, based upon
the level of need demonstrated and on the faculty's financial aid priorities.
Priorities For Awarding Scholarships
Currently, our priorities are to assist families now receiving aid (as long as they continue to qualify) so that current students may complete their high school program; to respond to families in exceptional circumstances; and to address equity issues of gender, racial and ethnic balance.
Application Procedures and Deadlines
Families applying for scholarships should review the procedure with the Business Manager upon registration.
Due to our limited scholarship funds, families should inform the school upon application for enrollment. Scholarship funds will be very limited for families applying after April 15th, so it is advisable to apply early.
Tuition Loan Programs
Loan programs can often assist families in financing private school tuition, whether or not the family qualifies for financial aid. Information brochures for two such programs are available at the school.
