Financial Aid Program

Forsyth’s Financial Aid Program sustains a learning environment rich in diversity of identity, thought, and experience, and that provides exposure to different ideas and perspectives. As a result, students develop an enhanced ability to think creatively and critically, gain an increased capacity for empathy and compassion, and realize more intellectual maturity.

Children learn best among peers with different cultural, economic, and geographic backgrounds and experiences. A diverse school community benefits our students in the classroom today and out in the world tomorrow.

Through our comprehensive Financial Aid Program, Forsyth strives to assist families for whom the cost of independent school tuition is the only barrier to attendance. In addition to tuition assistance, it includes 50% off Before Care and After Care, a percentage reduction on League Sports fees, a decreased tuition deposit for (re)enrollment, and a discount on tickets to the biennial Forsyth Auction.

The financial situation of all families varies, so the committee considers each application individually. Families with a combined annual income of less than $150,000 typically receive some tuition assistance. More than 25% of Forsyth students receive financial aid, with an average grant award of $10,000. Regarding divorce or separation, the committee considers both parents’ assets before making any award.
