Financial Aid
St. James offers tuition assistance. Awards are either in the form of specific scholarships, Opportunity Grants, SAM GRANTS, and Need-Based Financial Aid. These funds come from endowments, special donations, grants, and the St. James endowment fund. All financial assistance decisions made by the Financial Aid Committee are final.
Funds are available from the School to help the families most in need of tuition assistance (specifically with combined annual income below $60,000.) If you wish to apply for financial aid, you must register at FACTS Management. All materials are completed online to initiate the financial aid process. The applications for Admission and for Financial Aid are separate processes and must be completed separately. The separation of these applications is intentional so there can be no confusion that admission to St. James is NOT based upon the ability to pay tuition.
