Tuition Assistance
All students (grades K-8) are eligible to apply for our need-based tuition assistance program. The application for tuition assistance has no bearing on admission to Trinity Episcopal School. Tuition assistance is reviewed annually based on a family’s financial situation. In no case will a child be denied admission to Trinity because of implied, inferred or demonstrated financial need.
