“All three of our children, with their unique personalities, have thrived in the Prep environment and community.  It has been an investment with infinite returns.”

Tuition and Financial Aid

 

Making Tuition Affordable at Sandia Prep 

Financial aid is available for many income levels. Any family may apply for need-based assistance.
In fact, 42% of our current students receive financial aid. 
 

A Sandia Prep education inspires young people to take risks, challenge their intellect, and go beyond what they once thought possible. We appreciate the significant investment families make that will last a lifetime for their children.

We are committed to assisting families of qualified students who lack the financial resources to pay the full tuition.

If the cost of a Sandia Prep education feels out of reach based on your family's budget, we believe that 45 minutes of tuition assistance paperwork is worth the time to explore this possibility.

 

 

Financial aid process 

We partner with Clarity in our tuition assistance process. Sandia Prep offers financial aid in the form of tuition assistance grants to families who demonstrate financial need. The amount of each grant varies, depending on the family’s needs and our available resources. Families are required to file for tuition assistance on an annual basis. Aid awards are typically similar from one year to the next unless financial circumstances have changed significantly. 

Sandia Prep is unable to make an award until both the Clarity application for tuition assistance and required tax documents are received (deadlines below). If parents/guardians are divorced or separated, both parents/guardians must participate in the tuition assistance process by each submitting a separate application directly to Clarity. Late filing may jeopardize an award.
