Affording a quality private school education at FAA does take some planning and many families employ several strategies to bring costs within reach. In such planning, it is important to realize that the family bears the direct responsibility for financing a child's education to the extent possible. After that there are others that may be able to help with your efforts. To that end, we have included a list of low interest tuition and student loan programs.Click here to move to the fee schedule page with that list. Many families use such services to reduce down payments and to take advantage of early tuition or student bank reductions. Others borrow from personal retirement plans, refinance property or seek assistance from relatives.

Florida Air Academy seeks to enroll qualified students of character despite their financial circumstances. We have a limited amount of need based financial aid available to assist those deserving but needy students in attending our school. All parents need to plan to pay some expense; however, financial aid is not a loan and does not need to be paid back.

To determine eligibility, you must enroll your child and demonstrate a commitment to attend. This is accomplished by completing and submitting an application and paying the $2,600 application fee and tuition deposit. Upon requesting financial aid through letter or a telephone call to an FAA admissions counselor, you will be sent a financial aid worksheet. The FAA school code is 3180. You must complete this worksheet, Parents' Financial Statement (PFS), and send a completed copy with required documentation to School and Student Services (SSS) with a $22 processing fee. The SSS process can be accomplished on-line through the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) web site at www.nais.org/financialaid/sss in the admissions and financial aid section. This independent third party review is handled with a high degree of confidentiality. It is impossible for a school to determine aid without this verification of ability.

Once we receive the application, fees and deposit, and the SSS results, our financial aid committee reviews your request. This is a rolling process. The earlier you complete your application, the earlier aid award results can be made. Most awards are announced in May via letter. Financial aid covers tuition and not personal expenses or student bank accounts. Recipients are not eligible for other student bank incentives. All recipients of aid must reapply each year.
