Tuition Assistance (2018-2019)
Norwood-Fontbonne Academy offers limited tuition assistance to those with demonstrated financial need. After an assessment, the National Association of Independent Schools’ School and Student Services will make a recommendation to the Office of Business Operations as a guideline in determining individual awards. Financial aid is renewable and families are required to apply each year.
Applying for Financial Aid does not affect your child’s chances of admission. The processes are simultaneous, but separate. That said, each family also bears the primary responsibility for completing all necessary steps of the financial aid application. We know this process can be daunting at first, but we are here to support you.

Online form can be found at sssbynais.org. NFA code is 5424.
