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.

*Target Submission Date is the date by which we hope to receive the majority of applications from our continuing families.  If we have not received your application by this date, you can expect to be contacted for support and encouragement. 

**TA Applications submitted after the priority application deadline may run the risk of receiving a reduced aid package, since funds may be limited at this point in the admissions cycle.

***Any applicants who submit after the 06/01 Deadline should not have any expectation of TA availability. Applications will still be available but awards will be given according to fund availability after this date.
