Tuition and Assistance

Your child deserves to spend their early years surrounded by peers and educators who care about their growth and success as much as you do.

A Rossman education goes beyond academics, helping students build character and leadership skills to prepare them for their next steps in life. With incredible resources, a supportive community, and dedicated teachers, we focus on knowing and nurturing your child. We are honored that your family is exploring all that Rossman has to offer.

Tuition Assistance

Applying for Financial Aid

We are committed to financial assistance because we believe every child deserves an exceptional education. We partner with an impartial third-party platform that makes it super simple and easy to apply for tuition assistance.

Deadline

Although February 15 is the preferred date for applying for tuition assistance, applications are accepted throughout the admissions season.

Qualifications

Awards are based on need and are determined by the school’s Tuition Assistance Committee. It is the opinion of the school that regardless of the marital status of an applicant’s parents, both natural parents share the responsibility of educating their child. Therefore, in families of divorce or separation, the committee requests that both natural parents file financial aid applications (see procedure below). These cases will be individually evaluated and may result in tuition payments by both parents. In cases of remarriage by the parent who has custody, the financial status of the step parent may also be taken into account.

Reapplying

Parents of students currently receiving tuition assistance are expected to re-apply each year. The amount awarded may change from year to year, depending on a family’s financial situation.

Confidentiality

All application forms, tax information and other related papers are strictly confidential.

Notification

Awards are made on an annual basis and are generally announced along with admission decisions in March of each year.

The Annual Fund

Gifts to The Annual Fund make up the difference between the tuition charged for a Rossman education and the true cost to educate each student. We strive for 100% parent participation in our Annual Fund campaign. This year, tuition, fees and other income will cover only 93% of our operating budget, leaving an additional $1,950 per student to be raised through gifts to The Annual Fund. Learn more about The Annual Fund here.
