Financial Aid
Financial aid at FSW is based on need as principally determined through FACTS Business Solutions for Education (FACTS) report and an application letter requesting a specific amount of assistance. Reapplication for financial aid is required on a yearly basis. In the allocation of Financial Aid, families who are already enrolled at FSW receive priority, if they apply before the first Financial Aid application deadline of January 15th.

Families who are already enrolled and need financial assistance with tuition should:

• Request a Financial Aid packet from either school office, which contains detailed information on applying.
  
• Complete the Grant & Aid Assessment application on-line through FACTS and complete and return the "Friends School of Wilmington Financial Aid Request" form to either school office by January 15th.
• If this deadline is met, the Finance Committee will inform families of Financial Aid determinations in February.
• If a returning family misses this deadline, their request for Financial Aid will be considered with the requests of newly enrolling families. 

• Request a Financial Aid packet from either school office, which contains detailed information on applying.
• Complete the Grant & Aid Assessment application on-line through FACTS and complete and return the "Friends School of Wilmington Financial Aid Request" form to either school office.
• Awards for newly enrolling families are customarily in April, but it would also depend on the time of application completion.

After your Financial Aid form has been received, your request will be considered and you will receive a letter informing you about the amount of Financial Aid FSW is able to offer. In order to receive the award, you must sign and return a copy of the letter accepting the award by the deadline stated in that letter. If you do not accept the award by the stated deadline, the funds will be awarded to another applicant.

If your financial needs should change suddenly during the year, you should contact the Head of School immediately. Depending on the availability of funds, FSW may be able to provide Financial Aid, or adjust your award.
