Limited financial aid is available to families with demonstrated need. Apply online at www.nais.org/financialaid/sss beginning November 15, 2007 or complete and mail in forms (available from the main office) with the appropriate fee to the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) in order to be considered. Our SSS school code is 2277. Financial aid decisions are made only after the child is accepted into New Hope Academy. Please be aware that we may not be able to fully meet every family's needs. Financial Aid is not offered in preschool unless a family has multiple children in our school.
