Financial Aid

Only FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment can answer that question. Presentation gives assistance based on the FACTS analysis of your application; all scholarships are awarded solely on financial need. FACTS determines your need based on the information given to them, including household salary, income tax return and the number of children in secondary tuition schools. Only by applying will you find out if you qualify.

Once a student has been accepted to Presentation, a total of $1,650 is collected, this includes a non-refundable tuition deposit of $1,500 and a non-refundable registration fee of $150. The $1,500 deposit is deducted from the overall tuition amount for the year. Deposits and registration fees for incoming freshmen are due by 4:00 p.m. on March 29, 2023.

Just submit copies of the prior year’s tax return and the current year’s W-2s/1099’s with your FACTS application. You will need to follow up by sending your current year’s tax forms when they are completed.

Completing the application by the deadline is crucial for receiving financial aid. Missing the deadline may result in no financial aid awarded to qualified families. Incoming parents should not wait to receive their daughter’s acceptance letter before applying for aid. You must submit your application by the February deadline in order to be considered for aid.

In the past, we have awarded between 80% and 100% of FACTS-assessed need.

We will inform incoming families of their financial aid with their acceptance letters in March. Awards for returning students will be communicated at the end of March/early April.

No. All aid is strictly based on financial need.

Both parents are assumed to have financial responsibility for the student’s education. Separated or divorced parents requesting financial assistance are required to submit a separate FACTS application to be considered for aid and the financial responsibility for the cost of education must be clearly defined. If only one parent submits an application, only a partial award based on half the tuition amount will be considered.

The award is for one year only. You will have to reapply to FACTS every year to qualify for aid. Every effort is made to assist you in the cost of educating your daughter. If you qualify, you will receive aid.

Contact Accounting Manager Lisa Bunnell (lbunnell@presentationhs.org), (408) 264-1664, ext. 2431) regarding the appeal process. You will need to provide specific documentation showing the change in financial status. No financial aid will be considered if you are not in the FACTS system.

Admission at Presentation is need-blind. This means the admissions office has no knowledge of who is applying for financial aid and the Finance Department, which handles financial aid, has no access to the admissions information.

Several giving circles at Presentation provide for funds to assist with expenses for clubs, books, athletics and other fees for those who qualify.
