Financial Assistance
Financial Assistance Application Timeline
- By January 23, 2026 for currently enrolled families
- By February 6, 2026 for new financial assistance applicants
Financial Assistance applications received after the deadline will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Copies of 2025 federal and state income tax returns (personal and business, if applicable), including all W2 forms and/or 1099s and all schedules must be submitted to FAST by March 1, 2026. Instructions for submitting these documents are included on the FAST website. Please do not submit this paperwork to GPS.
Granada Preparatory School embraces socio-economic and cultural diversity, teaching students to respect diverse values and histories alongside core subjects like science and language.
We recognize the cost of independent education is a significant investment and thoughtfully review each family's unique financial circumstances. GPS admits students without regard to financial need, with need-blind admissions separate from financial aid decisions. Families are encouraged to apply for admission and financial assistance simultaneously for timely processing.
Financial aid is available for Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8 based on demonstrated need, evaluated by FAST (Financial Aid for School Tuition). Applications for the 2026-2027 academic year will consider 2025 income. To apply, use the FAST online application, following all instructions carefully. Applications can be completed in multiple sessions.
Notification of Award
Notifications of tuition assistance awards are generally issued with admission decision letters and re-enrollment contracts. When both the admission application and the Financial Assistance application process are completed, a family will receive a Financial Assistance decision letter along with the admission decision letter. Current families will receive provisional Financial Assistance awards with re-enrollment contracts. Awards will be confirmed upon receipt and review of the 2025 tax documents. Late forms, errors, or omissions in the FAST application may seriously jeopardize a child’s chance of receiving an award.
Granada Preparatory School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin, or sexual orientation in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, tuition assistance programs, and athletic and other school administered programs.
