Tuition Assistance

Please contact an Admissions Counselor for the current monthly tuition, fees and payment schedule.

Scholarships

The Family Foundation School does have scholarship money available for eligible students in need. We have deferment opportunities as well. Unfortunately, we cannot offer full scholarships and we cannot meet the needs of everyone who may request this assistance but we will do what we can to help you. Our Admissions Counselors would be happy to discuss our eligibility requirements with you.

Student Loans

Two organizations are currently working with familes to secure resources for placement at the Family Foundation School. Clark Custom Educational Loans is a broker offering a variety of options with a single application, pre-approval within 24 hours, non-collateralized and deferred payment options, and personal, customized service.

Also, American Health Care Lending has a program that provides access to funding.  Click the badage below for further information.

School District Funding

A small percentage of parents have been able to get some or all of the tuition costs paid by their local school district. The rules for applying, as well as the likelihood of obtaining funds, vary from state to state and reimbursement is dependent on a number of variables which must be discussed with your school district representative. In some states and situations, an attorney may also be needed.

Tax Deduction

For some students with certain physical or mental disabilities, the tuition may be a tax-deductible medical expense for parents who itemize deductions. There are prerequisites for the deduction, however, and not all students would qualify. For more information, contact the Family Resource Center on Disabilities at http://www.frcd.org and order their pamphlet, "Tax Guide for Parents." Or consult your tax professional.
