Need-Based Financial Aid

We understand that private school education, such as the one we offer at Riverside Preparatory Academy, provides an unparalleled experience and value to the student, but the cost of this investment sometimes exceeds a family's immediate resources. As such, we offer a need-based financial assistance program

Riverside Prep is proud to announce the use of the Clarity Application to determine our families' level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application, which includes assets, income, expenses and debts.

To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly, so you can complete it from anywhere.

If you need help completing the application, use the "Help" button on the bottom left of the screen. You can also email support@clarityapp.com or call 206-210-3752 in both English and Spanish. The application itself is also fully translated into Spanish.

Georgia GOAL

Riverside Preparatory Academy is proud to partner with the GOAL Scholarship Program, which helps families access better educational opportunities for their children. $251,500 was awarded in '22-'23.

In order to be eligible, a family must meet annual income caps and their child must be transferring from a public school in Georgia to Riverside Prep. Your family will be reviewed for eligibility after you have completed the FACTS Financial Aid Application mentioned above.
Georgia Special Needs Scholarship

In some cases, students can be eligible for the GA Special Needs Scholarship (GSNS) Program offered by the Georgia Department of Education. The GSNS is a school choice program available for students transferring from public to private school, and who are served under an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504. To determine eligibility and see what your student may qualify for, go to the GA DOE website.
Tuition Loans

Tuition loan programs, like Your Tuition Solution, assist many families in making tuition payments more affordable. Your Tuition Solution works with your family by providing a more flexible payment plan, loaning the funds upfront, and spreading the payments over a longer period of time. Please contact these loan programs directly for current fees, rates, and other details.
