Tuition & Financial Aid
Invest in Your Child's Future
Financial Aid
Families can qualify for need-based financial aid through The French American Academy Scholarship Program and through the French government.
Families can qualify for both programs.
Financial Aid Overview
The School can offer financial aid to FAA students in all grades. The French American Academy Financial Aid Program will consider the awarding of financial assistance through reduced tuition.
Financial aid will be awarded on the basis of demonstrated financial need and individual student merit, determined from a range of criteria, including academic achievement, participation in extracurricular activities and good citizenship.
Applications for French American Academy financial aid will be considered on a non-discriminatory basis without regard to race, sex or nationality.
The selection of financial aid will be made in the sole discretion of the finance committee of the school’s Board of Directors.
Application Process
To apply for a FAA financial aid for a FAA student:
01 – Send a letter of request explaining the reasons of your request to FAA Financial Aid Program to Fabienne Tomeda at ftomeda@faacademy.org
02 – Include with your letter personal tax returns for both state and federal taxes with all schedules and W2’s for the two most recent calendar years.
French nationals must also include a copy of their complete AEFE financial aid application and official response. High School students are excluded from the AEFE financial aid program.
In the case of divorce or separation, both parents are required to file an application for financial assistance. The FAA is not bound by any divorce agreement specifying a parent’s responsibility for educational expenses.
03 – To help the school make fair and objective financial aid decisions, FAA has joined Schools and Students Services by NAIS.
School and Student Services (SSS) as a trusted third party, is a service of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). Based on financial information, SSS calculates an estimate of how much a family can contribute in tuition.
To complete the questionnaire (PFS) online, go to the SSS website and click on the Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) Online. There is a $60 registration fee for this service, payable online on the SSS website.
You will be asked to select a school.
- FAA Englewood school code is 190173.
- FAA Jersey City school code is 9156.
All applications are considered in the strictest confidence. The school will communicate to each family its decision shortly after receiving the SSS report.
Through the Agence pour l’enseignement français à l’étranger (AEFE) and through the French Consulate in New York City, the French Government grants financial aid to its citizens for students in grades Pre-K3 through Grade 8. Only French citizens are eligible for this program.
