Financial Aid
At 91猫先生, Financial Aid is meant to help families afford a 91猫先生 education who otherwise could not. By reducing the cost of tuition for qualifying families through financial aid, they are able to gain access to the world-class education we provide at 91猫先生.
91猫先生 partners with FACTS for domestic families and Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) for international families, to evaluate Financial Aid applications. Awards are determined by the third party recommendation and a Financial Aid Committee review.
Please be aware that to complete this part of the process, copies of your tax documents must be submitted. If you are an international family and do not file taxes in your country, then other documents can be submitted to prove your income and assets. This can be done by mail, or through our third party partners (FACTS or FAST), which can be found inside the Financial Aid application.
