Financial Aid

We realize that this is a big decision for your family and that financial aid may be a deciding factor in your ability to send your child to LWA. Although it is our goal to accommodate all students who are accepted to the school, our budget is limited and priority is given to current students. All awards are reviewed annually.

Families making application to the school should complete the admissions process and file your financial aid request no later than February 15.

We use TADS Financial Aid Assessment to process financial aid applications to the school. TADS is a service that conducts confidential financial need assessments for families that may need assistance paying tuition.  Based on the financial information you provide, TADS gives us an estimated amount your family can contribute to educational expenses. This helps us make fair and objective financial aid decisions.

We suggest that you complete a Financial Aid Application Worksheet before you begin, which will highlight all of the information you will need to complete your application.
