Financial Aid

Financial Aid

Overview
Pinewood seeks to provide need-based financial assistance to families who otherwise would be unable to attend. Through this program, we are proudly able to support an average of 31% of our students annually. Current students and newly accepted students are eligible to apply. However, financial aid is unavailable for the preschool (PK2 through PK4), as those tuition rates are tax-deductible. 

Financial aid decisions are based on a family's Need Analysis as calculated by FACTS Management, Pinewood’s Financial Aid Committee, and the School's ability to support that need. Awards are only applicable if a family’s account with Pinewood is current, and the student is not on academic or disciplinary probation. 

Process
Pinewood utilizes the secure online service of FACTS Management to process financial aid applications. FACTS Management provides a need-based financial aid analysis service which includes a recommendation of what a family should reasonably contribute toward tuition. Results are reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee, and all information from families is kept confidential. Upon approval, financial aid awards are emailed to families. 

For current families, the financial aid season opens on November 1st of each year with a preferred consideration deadline of January 1st.
