Financial Aid

The Out-of-Door Academy welcomes applications from all families, independent of their ability to pay tuition and fees. A diverse Out-of-Door Academy community is an institutional priority and defines, in part, our pursuit of academic, athletic, and artistic excellence. We are committed to providing financial support to students and families who qualify for financial aid.  We do not offer athletic, academic, or art/music scholarships. Qualifying for financial aid involves a comprehensive examination of parent or guardian financial data. 

Financial aid is a privilege, and the Out-of-Door Academy reserves the right to allocate financial awards based on both economic need and institutional priorities/concerns. Furthermore, financial aid is based on a qualifying first-come, first-served basis for those who meet the stated deadlines. The financial aid budget is determined by the Board of Trustees and is allocated from the Out-of-Door Academy's operating budget.
