This process includes testing, college visits, preparation of recommendations and applications for admission, and making the final selection. A primary emphasis is on helping the students make appropriate, informed choices about the colleges to which they will apply, taking into account their strengths, talents, preferences, and career goals. Typically, one hundred percent of West Nottingham seniors go on to pursue college study, most having applied to four to six colleges and universities. However, the school recognizes that there are families who are unable to meet the full cost of a West Nottingham education. For this reason, the school is committed to an ongoing financial aid program.
Financial aid is awarded to qualified students based on their parents income.
The renewal of grants to returning students is based on their contributions and commitment to the Academy and the continuing financial need of their parents. It is automatically mailed to parents of returning students. Parents who do not receive aid but wish to apply must request a PFS from the Admissions Office. The PFS must be filled out completely, with all items explained. It should be mailed, with the necessary fee, to the School Scholarship Service where it is processed.
