Tuition Assistance

Woodland School's Kindergarten through Eighth Grade Tuition Assistance program is designed to make a Woodland education possible for all kindergarten through eighth grade families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. Woodland is proud to use the Clarity Application 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.

To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return to it at any time. At the end of the application, there is a a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge.

My child will be in preschool and/or pre-kindergarten, can we apply for tuition assistance?

Will applying for aid hinder my child's chances of getting into Woodland?

How is the amount of an award determined?

Can we apply for tuition assistance after we have enrolled?

How much money will I receive and will I receive the same amount every year?

The amount of money you receive depends on your need and the number of other families requesting assistance. If your financial circumstances remain the same, you can generally expect to receive approximately the same size award each year. For example, if you initially received half the total tuition and there is no change in your financial situation, you will most likely receive half of the total tuition again the next year that you apply.
