CRESTMONT SCHOOL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Crestmont’s mission is to create a diverse and accessible community and offers financial assistance to families of varied incomes and financial circumstances that demonstrate financial need. If you are considering Crestmont but you are concerned about tuition, please consider the following financial assistance options.
Crestmont uses the services of School and Student Services for Financial Aid (SSS) of the National Association of Independent Schools to evaluate a family’s financial need. In addition, Crestmont requests that applying families submit a supplementary application.
Financial aid awards are determined solely by the members of the Crestmont Financial Aid Committee. Financial aid decisions are completely independent from admissions decisions. When considering financial aid requests, the committee will take into account the data from SSS and balance it with other factors such as the number of applicants and the amount of aid available. All financial information submitted is held in confidence.
