We encourage families with financial questions to pursue the process rather than make an assumption that might prevent a qualified student from receiving an Athens Academy education. It is important to note that the names of financial aid recipients are held in the strictest confidence. Having more than one member of your family at a tuition-charging institution is one of the most significant factors influencing a financial aid decision. The reason, of course, is that money available for education has to be divided among family members. Athens Academy is then provided with information and guidelines for making financial aid awards fairly and equitably on the basis of need .
Aid is offered without regard to sex, race, color, nationality, religion, or ethnic origin.
Financial information is held in strictest confidentiality. Forms and procedures may be obtained from the Admissions or Business Offices. Each situation is determined on its own merits. Both parents may be asked to provide financial information, and there is a special form to assist Athens Academy's evaluation of each situation on an individual basis. Financial aid recipients are evaluated and updated each year, so that aid is truly offered on a need basis.
