We understand and appreciate the financial
commitment families undertake in deciding to send their children to Tidewater Academy. And although paying for education is first and foremost
the responsibility of a family, we devote significant funds each year to
a financial aid budget that helps assist families. In turn, our school
community benefits by attracting gifted students that otherwise would
not have been able to attend. To help us objectively assess what a
family is able to contribute to its student(s) education expenses, we
use School and Student Services (SSS By NAIS) as a trusted third party.
The SSS analysis of a family's "Estimated Family Contribution (EFC)" is a
critical component of our financial aid decision. However, it is just a
start. To make our final financial aid award decisions, we use the SSS
figures as the baseline for our own additional review, taking into
consideration our total financial aid budget, other information we may
have collected, our school’s policies and priorities, and the needs of
our entire applicant pool. Due to circumstances like these, and others,
our school may ask your family to contribute more to tuition
than what is estimated on the SSS Family Report. To start the process, click on the logo below to be taken to SSS by NAIS.
