Financial Aid
Each year the Board of Directors allocates monies for the Financial Aid Committee to award to eligible current and prospective students who meet admissions and financial aid criteria. The Board of Trustees oversee the policies of this committee. The Financial Aid Committee grants financial aid awards on a non-discriminatory needs basis to eligible students kindergarten through 6th grade.

The initial inquiry form to apply for financial aid begins January 1st of each year. The application should be completed and submitted to school by mid-February of each year. The earlier the submissions the better.

The Susan Odell Taylor School has developed a Financial Aid Policy Manual for current families and families considering school enrollment. The manual is a useful resource for understanding the financial aid process.
