The Grosse Pointe Academy values socioeconomic and cultural diversity. Our need-based tuition assistance program continues the Academy’s mission to increase both accessibility and affordability.

Families with students in Grades 1-8 who are interested in need-based financial aid must submit a secure, online application, including tax returns, through the Blackbaud Financial Aid Management. Our Financial Aid Committee will review the family’s application to determine whether or not a family qualifies for tuition assistance. Tuition assistance is given first to currently enrolled tuition-assisted students, then to currently enrolled students demonstrating financial need for the first time, and finally, to newly accepted applicants applying for tuition assistance.

Families must reapply for tuition assistance each year. All awards are reviewed annually and will reflect changes in the financial needs of the individual family and the relative need of all families requesting aid.

Families receive a 5% tuition discount for a second – and any subsequent – child enrolled after their first child is enrolled at full tuition. Students in the Early School are not eligible for the multiple student discount. Payment for the first child does include scholarships.

The Grosse Pointe Academy offers a tuition financing plan with budget-friendly payment options through Your Tuition Solution, by LendingClub Bank. For available rates and an individualized plan, please fill out the online application.
