In order to cultivate a diverse community, Shining Mountain offers financial aid to new and returning families. The award per family varies depending on the financial aid fund each year and the number of families who apply. Through generous donations, the Tuition Partnership Program continues to grow as we reach out to families who could not attend without assistance.

Please pay close attention to the application steps and deadlines in order to be considered for maximum assistance.

For the 2008-2009 academic year, you must complete and turn in your paperwork, as described in the Tuition Partnership Guidelines and Instructions BY JANUARY 18, 2008 to qualify for Phase I funds (80-85% of funding).

Your child(ren) must be accepted by the school before your Financial Aid application is reviewed. Therefore, please go through the admission process concurrent with applying for financial aid.

Awards will be made around March 1, 2008.

Phase II applications are reviewed on a rolling basis after March 1 until funds are gone. The application process is the same.
