Financial Aid Application Process

If you are interested in Financial Aid consideration, we request that you submit your TADS application beginning November 1, 2024, for priority consideration. It is highly advised that you complete this step at the same time as applying for Admission. This will allow us to send you your potential aid package at the time of your student’s admissions decision.

Any qualified student entering grades K-12 who desires to attend Providence Academy may complete an application, regardless of financial resources. The financial aid application process for Providence Academy is completed through TADS (Tuition Aid Data Services), a third-party organization that collects and audits financial information.

Application forms must be submitted to TADS by January 29, 2025, for priority consideration for the following school year. If applicants have parents living in separate households, both legal guardians must apply for financial assistance to qualify. First-round financial aid determinations are typically made in mid-March. All applications for financial assistance submitted after the January 29, 2025, priority deadline will be reviewed on a funds-available basis.
