Tuition Assistance Policy

The goal of the tuition assistance program at Pasadena Waldorf School is to make a Waldorf education available to as many families as possible who would otherwise be unable to afford it.

Each year, the School sets aside a percentage of estimated gross tuition revenues for tuition assistance.  The School’s Tuition Assistance Committee, a confidential committee composed of members from the faculty, Board of Trustees, and parent body, awards assistance based on an assessment of need and other factors.  In keeping with a philosophy of responsibility for self, and to enable us to benefit as many families as possible with our limited resources, the Committee, with rare exception, limits assistance to a maximum of 50 percent of tuition.

Tuition assistance application information and amounts awarded are kept strictly confidential by the School, and recipients are asked to honor this confidentiality.
