The École Financial Assistance

The assessment of the financial need is processed through the School & Student Services by NAIS (National Association of Independent Schools). Parents who are interested in applying for financial assistance must submit their application to SSS NAIS during their application process to The École, via their family portal. Applicants will need our school code and will be asked to complete a Parents’ Financial Statement and pay a fee to submit their file.

Scholarships for French citizens

French nationals admitted to schools accredited by the French government may be eligible for assistance with tuition fees through the Social Services of the French Consulate in New York. The École is one of only three schools in the New York City area that has full accreditation for all grades offered.

Parents who are interested in applying for tuition assistance must submit their application to the French Consulate during their application process to The École. Applicants must first be registered with the Consulate and will be asked to meet with the Consulate’s Social Services to review their submissions.
