Limited need-based financial aid is available for Country Day families in 1st-12th grades. Financial aid is communicated after an offer of admission.

The Savannah Country Day School's financial aid mission is to assist qualified students in enrolling who could not otherwise afford to attend our school. Financial aid is need-based. A family's need is defined as the difference between tuition and a family's ability to pay these expenses. Some factors taken into consideration in the evaluation of a financial aid application are family size, number of children in tuition-paying schools, annual household expenses and total income.

We require families to complete an application, the Parents' Financial Statement (PFS), on a yearly basis through School and Student Services (SSS) to determine their ability to contribute to educational expenses. Families who demonstrate financial need may be provided with a grant to lower the amount paid at The Savannah Country Day School. 

Click HERE to visit the SSS Family Portal and begin the Parents' Financial Statement. Our school code is 7150.The SSS Family Portal opens on September 1 each year. The deadline to apply for the upcoming school year is December 1 for returning families and January 15 for prospective families. Please note that missing the financial aid deadline may result in a lower grant amount or denial of financial aid. For prospective families, financial aid is available in first through twelfth grades, and is communicated after an offer of admission.

A separate application is required for admission. The admissions deadline is January 29, 2024. Please visit our Applicant Process webpage for more information.

For questions regarding completing your PFS, contact SSS at (800) 344-8328 or click HERE to visit the SSS Help For Families webpage.
