Tuition & Tuition Assistance
Excellence Within Reach
The Principia Tuition Assistance program is designed to make a Principia education possible for all international and domestic families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. Admission decisions are made solely on a student’s merits, irrespective of the family’s ability to pay. Therefore, applying for tuition assistance requires a separate application from the admissions application.
Principia is proud to use Clarity to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application, which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts.
