Financial Aid Information
Overview
Explorer West Middle School values an equitable, inclusive, diverse community. Our robust financial aid program benefits all of us. Diverse family perspectives and experiences help create a powerful education for all students.
Explorer West’s financial aid is based on demonstrated need and available funds. Awards are determined through consideration of family income, assets, expenses, and debts
In addition to tuition assistance, Explorer West offers the following assistance:
- Outdoor education gear
- Musical instrument lending
- Athletic and enrichment programs, including aftercare
- Financial assistance for the eighth grade Rome trip
During the 2022-2023 school year, approximately 30% of our families received financial aid, with awards ranging from $2,000 to the total cost of tuition.
Although we cannot guarantee awards to all applicants, we encourage families who may require assistance to complete the financial aid application through Clarity. Clarity is used to process the information; however, Explorer West’s Financial Aid Committee will make the final award decisions.
