Financial Aid Information

Bayou Village School is committed to the principle that every child should be able to attend our school. We offer a program for tuition assistance to help families meet the expenses of private education.

Bayou Village School is nonsectarian and does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion and national or ethnic origin in its administrative or admissions policies. Bayou Village School strives for a cultural and economic diversity in its student body that reflects that of the broader community to which it belongs.


Eligibility
Tuition assistance is available on the basis of need. Bayou Village School expects all families to take a hard look at their finances to determine ways to make tuition fall within their budgetary means before turning to tuition assistance. A general guideline for eligibility is that a family should devote 8% to 15% of their gross annual income to the education of their children. This range takes into account several different family circumstances including the cases of single and divorced parents. These guidelines are not fixed and all applications are reviewed on an individual basis. Accordingly, special circumstances that can profoundly affect a family’s financial resources are considered in an appropriate manner.

Programs for which Assistance is Available
Children in only the Mixed Kindergarten and Grades classes are eligible for assistance. Assistance does not cover any fees other than monthly tuition.

Application Procedure
To apply for financial aid, please submit your financial aid documents by emailing financialaid@bayouvillageschool.org. Your application for financial aid will be processed while your family interviews with us, and you will receive notice of your aid approval within 1-2 weeks of accepted application. 

Awards
There is a limited amount of financial assistance to be granted. The Board strives to award these funds with overall needs of the community in mind. Awards of tuition assistance generally range between 5% and 50% of a family’s total tuition cost. All grants are made at the sole discretion of Bayou Village School’s Board of Directors.

Awards are made for a period of up to one academic year and are subject to adjustments for changes to your enrollment in Bayou Village School programs. Those seeking assistance for more than one academic year must reapply. Receipt of tuition assistance does not guarantee that assistance will be available in the following year. A family may apply for tuition assistance each year they participate in the educational programs of Bayou Village School.
