Affording Episcopal
|
Episcopal School of Baton Rouge is committed to enrolling an inclusive student body comprised of students from various economic, ethnic, racial and social backgrounds. As part of that commitment, the school has established a program of tuition assistance for families who would otherwise be unable to consider Episcopal as an option for their children. The school’s philosophy regarding tuition assistance is that it be need-based. The school also has several merit-based scholarships. Episcopal attempts to select the most qualified students for admission based on the student’s academic and personal qualities as well as his or her potential ability to contribute to the extracurricular life of the school community, independent of a family’s ability to meet the cost of an Episcopal education.
While it is the school’s firm belief that the primary responsibility for financing the student’s education belongs to his/her family, Episcopal appreciates that not every family can bear the full cost. The purpose of the tuition assistance program is to make Episcopal accessible to these families. If you would like a member of our Admission Team to contact you, please click here. |

TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Episcopal has an established tuition assistance program for families who would otherwise be unable to consider Episcopal as an option for their children. The school’s Director of Tuition Assistance is available to counsel privately with interested families regarding tuition assistance. A family’s interest in tuition assistance and any award granted will be considered strictly confidential.
Need-based awards are made to families whose ability to pay school costs are limited, as well as those who may need only a minor subsidy to meet tuition requirements. In the 2015-2016 school year, Episcopal awarded approximately $2.2 million to 25% of our students.
Tuition assistance is available for students in Kindergarten through 12th Grade. Tuition assistance awards are made only after a student has been granted admission to Episcopal. Awards are made as a reduction to tuition only; parents are therefore responsible for all other fees including, but not limited to, enrollment, lunch, books, technology, extra-curricular activities, and transportation.

Scholarship Program
At Episcopal, not only do we value the accomplishments and contributions of bright and motivated students, but we also provide opportunities for those students to reach their full potential in scholarship and leadership. Our commitment to excellence in these areas is reinforced by our efforts to honor these students in a variety of ways. As a part those efforts, Episcopal awards tuition scholarships annually to qualified applicants and existing Episcopal students.
Scholarships are awarded based on the criteria established by the donor(s) funding each merit scholarship award. Both current Episcopal students and new applicants are automatically considered for partial-tuition scholarships; there is no separate application process.
Students receiving scholarships are also encouraged to apply for additional aid through our Tuition Assistance Program. It is the school’s philosophy that tuition assistance be need-based. Episcopal attempts to select the most qualified students for admission based on the student’s academic and personal qualities and potential ability to contribute to the extracurricular life of the school community, independent of his/her family’s ability to meet the cost of an Episcopal education.
Our admission, scholarship and tuition assistance policies for qualified students are administered without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national and ethnic origin or disability.
