Tuition Assistance
You could be eligible for Tuition Assistance!
At The Girls’ School of Austin (GSA), we are dedicated to fostering a mission-driven community through our Admission and Tuition Assistance programs. We understand that families view tuition as an important investment in their child’s future, and we strive to make this opportunity accessible by offering support through our tuition assistance program. By carefully considering each student’s individual needs and each family’s financial situation, we work to make a GSA education attainable for mission-aligned students and families, regardless of their financial background. We encourage all families who may benefit from assistance to apply.
GSA Tuition Assistance (TA) is a needs based program. We utilize a third-party system, Clarity, that works with our school to analyze an applicant’s financial data. Tuition Assistance applicants provide information on their financial circumstances through the Clarity portal, and a recommendation is made to GSA regarding the need and a suggested award amount. GSA independently reviews the information and recommended award in order to make a final determination that also factors in the overall pool of funds available for distribution.
GSA’s Tuition Assistance Committee, comprised of a small group of administrators, determines applicant awards. The Admissions department is blind to any assistance that is provided to a family and makes independent decisions regarding placement within the standard admissions process.
All new Tuition Assistance applicants are asked to schedule an appointment with Melinda Madurai, Director of Finance, to discuss the Tuition Assistance process and ensure any questions that your family may have are answered. Tuition Assistance applications are due February 1st, and you may contact Melinda Madurai to schedule your appointment.
