Affordability at St. Augustine Prep
Keep Them in Blazers – A Life & Tuition Assistance program at St. Augustine Prep
St. Augustine Preparatory School is committed to providing a quality, personalized, values-based education for those qualified students who desire it. Ever mindful of the serious question surrounding affordability, St. Augustine Prep is proud of the Keep Them In Blazers program.
Unlike other private institutions where large endowments fund financial aid, St. Augustine Prep is blessed with annual support and philanthropy from benefactors, alumni, family, and friends, all committed to Keep Them In Blazers – the school’s life and tuition assistance program.
St. Augustine Prep is proud to use Clarity to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application, which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts.
Families must complete the online (Clarity) Financial Aid Application and meet specific deadlines to be considered for aid. A committee determines the amount of assistance granted based on several factors, including the total funds available and the number of qualified applicants.
To get started, please click the link below and create an account. The Clarity Application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. It is also mobile-friendly, so you can complete it from anywhere. You can also save your progress and return at any time.
If you need help completing your application, in-app support is available through the “Help” button at the bottom left of the application screen, and email and phone support are available at support@clarityapp.com or 206-210-3752.
