No. Each year, despite our best efforts, the demand for reduced tuition exceeds available funds. The Financial Aid Committee determines which applicants receive grants based on the availability of funds and our enrollment needs. Each year the Committee places a small number of students on a financial aid waiting list.
SGS attempts to keep a family’s tuition at a similar level each year if no major changes have occurred in a family’s financial situation during the previous year. The portion a family pays will increase some as tuition increases. All families who currently receive a grant at SGS must file a new financial aid application each year.

Use this income guide to get a general idea of where your family may fall into the FIT program. These categories are based on gross total income for all members of a given family. Multiple tuitions can include tuitions paid to SGS for more than one student, or tuitions paid for students in other tuition charging schools. The guidelines below may not apply in situations where assets and investments exceed typical ranges for households with the annual total income in each group listed below. Additionally, the guide below may not apply for households with their own business.
As a tuition-driven school, Saint George’s relies on tuition dollars and donations alone to fund our budget. Every family will make a contribution toward their student’s tuition.
Paying tuition from incomes in this range can be challenging. Families that qualify in this category will have an annual tuition range of approximately $3,000 to $6,000 each year.
Families in this range may be impacted by competing demands associated with the cost-of-living. SGS commits to making tuition affordable by considering income as the most important part of the calculation.
Families in this range may have more monthly income and assets, but full tuition may be a stretch. Detailed evaluation of home values, debt, investments, and retirement savings are considered in determining fair affordable tuition.
Some SGS FIT recipients have family incomes higher than $200,000. Many of these families are juggling multiple tuitions and may qualify for FIT through Saint George’s multiple tuition policy.
Individual circumstances vary and affect a family’s need. Bank accounts, investments including real estate, debts, home equity, other school tuitions, multiple households, and medical expenses are some of the many factors that affect a FIT decision.
We are excited that you are considering Saint George’s School (SGS) for your family! Finding the best school that is the right fit for your child is critical to their success. We understand that each child’s needs are individualized, just as each family’s household needs are unique, so tuition should be personalized based upon each family situation too.
