For the last 16 years, Paideia has had 30 families in need of financial aid. For 10 years, they have utilized a third-party evaluator (Family Financial Needs Assessment) and Independent School Management Financial Aid for School Tuition (ISMFAST) to provide the school with financial aid recommendations. Paideia has been providing ISMFAST’s scholarship recommendation, up to 50% of the annual tuition, and after 10 years, scholarship funds have been depleted. Currently, Paideia has reduced the tuition received until funding can be raised to meet the ISMFAST recommendation. A grant was awarded for scholarship funds, which will help Paideia accommodate families in need of tuition assistance.
