Affording an Upland education
Upland offers need-based financial aid and a variety of payment plan options to help families manage the cost of pursuing an independent school education. Interested families may apply for need-based grant aid by completing a School and Student Service (SSS) Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) by January 2, 2009 and submitting 1040 and W-2 tax documents by February 1, 2009. Though admission to the school is need-blind, families should apply for aid at the same time as applying for admission. Upland believes that the SSS needs analysis system is the most fair and equitable way through which independent schools can determine a family’s financial circumstances.
Upland families have the option of paying tuition costs through a variety of payment plan options. While many families pay 70% of their tuition charges in July and the remaining 30% in December, many others subscribe to a ten-month payment plan offered through SMART Tuition Management Services. SMART plan materials are included in our enrollment acceptance packets.
