Sea Crest provides flexible tuition as a grant, which is not expected to be repaid to the school. Grants vary in size depending on need and range anywhere from $2,000 - $26,820. All award decisions are based entirely on demonstrated need through this process. We strive to meet as much of each family's demonstrated need as our budget will allow.

Flexible tuition applications are filed separately from admissions applications. The 入学s Committee does not know which students are 应用ing for flexible tuition. Grants are allocated in a highly confidential process by the Flexible Tuition Committee, which is comprised of school administrators.

Sea Crest School works closely with Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) 在决定奖项时. FAST represents schools across the country to help assess a family’s ability to pay school costs and promotes objectivity and consistency in financial aid determinations.
