Tuition & Financial Aid

It's true that an independent school education comes at a cost, but we do our best to work with our families by offering payment plans as well as financial aid to those who qualify.

Your student's Woodward journey, at whatever grade level it begins, can take them wherever they want to go. They'll build values and skills that will stay with them throughout life, and graduate with an identity, an energy, that charges them with a mission: Make a difference. Serve others. Leave the world better than you found it. And that is priceless.

Need-Based Financial Aid

“Our financial aid package has helped us tremendously. We feel extremely blessed to be part of a place like Woodward, which continues to honor its commitment in this world to provide a seat at the table for everyone.”Current Parent

Woodward offers need-based financial grants for students who qualify in grades 4-12. Financial aid is not available to students applying to grades PK-3 or to international students. Please note that AAAIS (Atlanta Area Association of Independent Schools) are not able to award any merit-based or athletic scholarships.

A family’s degree of financial need is calculated by Clarity, an independent third party. It may be helpful for you to know that most grants are less than 50% of annual tuition, an average of $10,750. The financial aid application deadline is the same as the admissions application deadline, February 1, and you may start your application here.
