Keystone Tuition Assistance
The Keystone School
Keystone's tuition assistance is available for elementary, middle school and high school students.
Keystone Tuition Assistance Program
The Tuition Assistance program exists for elementary, middle school and high school students. Learn more about the Keystone Tuition Assistance application requirements below.
Tuition Assistance Benefits
Recipients will receive the services and support available to full-time students, including Student Success Advisor support, engagement monitoring, college counseling, and instructional support from certified teachers. Students will also be assigned a mentor that can provide additional support, encouragement and connections with resources.
Tuition Assistance Application
Keystone provides Tuition Assistance to new or returning students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. Tuition assistance is awarded on a rolling basis throughout the year as funds are available and is based on demonstrated financial need, availability of tuition assistance funds, and the student and family commitment to the school's mission. Because enrollment remains open year-round, tuition assistance is not awarded during a single application period. Instead, requests are reviewed as students apply for admission.
Who Can Apply?
Any student in K-5, middle school or high school with an average letter grade of B and meet the Tuition Assistance's economic needs guidelines.
Selection Process
Tuition assistance is awarded on a rolling basis throughout the year as funds are available. Because enrollment remains open year-round, tuition assistance is not awarded during a single application period. Instead, requests are reviewed as students apply for admission.
When considering tuition assistance requests, the school evaluates several factors, including:
- Demonstrated financial need
- Availability of tuition assistance funds
- Student and family commitment to the school's mission and educational program
Tuition assistance awards will be granted based on a tier of 25%, 50%, 75% and in rare cases 100%. Families seeking assistance will be asked to complete the application and provide supporting documentation. Because tuition assistance funds are limited, an award cannot be guaranteed, and funding may become unavailable during the school year.
Recipient Expectations
Tuition Assistance selection is a great privilege and honor at The Keystone School, along with these recipients taking part in their course work and consistently logging into their courses, below are additional expectations that we request that each recipient comply with on a yearly basis as part of being awarded a Keystone Tuition Assistance:
- Maintain good academic standing and consistent course pacing across all courses.
- Meet with a Keystone School assigned mentor at least once a month.
- Complete mini surveys throughout the year to provide feedback on your Keystone experience.
- Enhance the school community by participating in one of the following options: join a club, become a student mentor, assist with Keystone’s social media efforts as a Featured Student, participate in podcasts, being part of a student focus group, etc.
We know that parents play a pivotal role in our student’s educational journey. We look for parent insight and input for our Tuition Assistance recipient process as well. The expectations for parents of Tuition Assistance recipients includes:
- Participate in a minimum of three Keystone Family Connection events throughout the year. More information about the KFC can be found here.
- Complete mini surveys throughout the year to provide feedback on your Keystone experience.
- Upon completion of these courses, provide a testimonial or public-facing review about your experience at Keystone.
Tuition Assistance Renewal
Tuition assistance awards are granted for one year and must be renewed annually. Continued assistance is dependent upon available funding, financial need, and the student's satisfactory academic progress.
