Frequently Asked Questions About Financial Aid at
Fordham Prep

Who can apply for financial aid?

Can my son qualify for aid for being an outstanding athlete?

What is the income cutoff for receiving financial aid?

There is no set income cutoff for receiving financial aid. FAIR, Inc., the service that analyzes the financial aid applications, looks at income and assets, making allowances for living expenses and retirement planning. A percentage of the remaining resources is expected to be available for tuition. Two families with the same income may receive different awards, based on the demands placed on that income including the number of children.

My son is applying for admission as a prospective freshman; when should I apply for financial aid?

My son is a returning student. When should I apply or re-apply for financial aid?

I already have one son at Fordham Prep and intend to register an incoming freshman. When should my family apply for financial aid?

When will I get a response to my request for financial aid?

What if the deadline has passed and then we realize that we need to apply for financial aid?

My son is applying for admission as a transfer student; can we apply for financial aid?

Financial aid is generally not available for transfer students. Your family may apply, but you are less likely to receive an award, as priority in the awarding of financial aid is given to currently enrolled students and incoming freshmen. Should additional money become available, however, it is helpful for the Financial Aid Committee to have ready access to a completed application. Please note that after having spent one year at Fordham Prep, a transfer student may apply for financial aid, and his application will be given the same consideration as is given to all enrolled students.
