Update from Foundations in Education
-
Sibling Consideration Awards -Sibling consideration awards will be eliminated given the discounts individual schools provide families. In the past, if a family with multiple children did not qualify for FACTS-calculated need-based tuition assistance, they could qualify for a $300 BSF award for older K-8 sibling(s). Sibling awards are no longer available.
REMINDERS:
-
Transitional Kindergarten – TK/JK/PK5 is not Kindergarten and therefore not eligible for BSF.
