Tuition & Financial Aid

Investing in Learning

We strive to provide an exceptional education that inspires students to achieve their fullest potential while creating unforgettable memories.

Socioeconomic diversity within our school is a priority. We believe a student body representing different backgrounds, talents, and interests helps to create an inclusive environment where every student can belong and thrive.

This school is different from others because it has an atmosphere where I wake up excited to learn. Every space is designed to stimulate creativity and critical thinking. Lake Highland is more than a school; it is a community that bolsters and fuels its members. There is a mutual camaraderie, respect, and care for everyone that not only makes me feel safe but most importantly, also welcomed. Isabella Delbaksh

Need-based Financial Aid

Lake Highland offers need-based financial aid to qualified families with students in grades 6-12. Financial aid must be applied for and evaluated annually. The application process for financial aid is self-managed and allows families to track each step from start to finish.

LHP does not offer academic, athletic, or other merit-based scholarships. Additionally, Lake Highland limits financial aid awarding to two children per family. International students are not eligible for financial aid.

Assessing Financial Aid

To objectively determine each family’s need for aid, we use Independent School Management’s program, Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST), which provides a confidential, need-based financial aid analysis service. FAST provides the school with a detailed analysis, including a family’s expected financial contribution to tuition. FAST does not determine whether financial assistance will be given or how much to give.

To receive financial aid, candidates must:

Be accepted to and enrolled at Lake Highland Preparatory School
Have a solid academic record and remain in good academic standing
Have strong character and integrity
Be involved in activities outside the classroom
Be current with financial obligations to Lake Highland

The Financial Aid Committee may only consider candidates who provide the required information, follow the guidelines, and meet deadlines.

Please contact Brooke Adams at (407) 206-1900 x3324 or badams@lhps.org if you have any questions regarding financial aid.

Financial Aid FAQ

How do I apply for financial aid?

Our school uses FAST from Independent School Management (ISM) to process financial aid applications.

FAST provides our school with a need-based financial analysis, allowing us to allocate our resources wisely and fairly. All information from FAST regarding a family’s request for financial assistance is kept confidential.

The FAST application for financial assistance will be available in January 2025, with a $60 application fee.

Does a request for financial aid affect the admission decision?

How are financial aid awards determined?

May financial aid decisions be appealed?

Is there a limit to the number of children in a family receiving financial aid?

Only one parent works outside the home. Must both parents be employed to receive financial aid?

If parents are divorced or separated, do you require both parents to complete the FAST financial aid process?

Yes, for audit and compliance purposes, the income, expenses, assets, and liabilities of both parents are required. Custodial and non-custodial parents must complete the FAST application and submit copies of their 2023 tax returns and W-2 form(s).

Remarriage of either parent creates a new family unit. On the FAST application, each parent should include information relating to their “new” family, specifically financial information on a new spouse (step-parent).

The Financial Aid Committee at Lake Highland Prep considers both parents’ ability to contribute to tuition, not their willingness. It is the custodial parent’s responsibility to ensure that the FAST application is completed by all parties by the Financial Aid application deadline.

The School recognizes that, at times, unusual circumstances may make it difficult for both parents/guardians to obtain and supply financial information. In these cases, an electronic request form must be submitted for the School’s consideration before further review of the financial aid application. Each request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis and parents/guardians may be asked to submit additional documentation. If either parent/guardian declines to submit the required information, the decision to award aid and/or the amount of aid may be affected. For access to this electronic request form, please email Brooke Adams at badams@lhps.org.
