Limited need-based financial aid is available for Country Day families in JK-12th grades. Students are accepted for admission and are notified of acceptance before financial aid is offered.

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. On average, more than 20% of our students (Junior Kindergarten through twelfth grade) receive some level of financial aid. The average grant ranges between $5,000 - $13,000. 

Many families mistakenly believe they would not qualify for financial aid; however, there is no specific income level at which a family is no longer eligible. Eligibility for financial assistance is based on many factors, so you should investigate the possibility of receiving financial aid if you feel you cannot pay all of the costs yourself. Some factors taken into consideration in the evaluation of your financial aid application are family size, number of children in tuition-paying schools, annual household expenses and total income.

Financial aid at The Savannah Country Day School is need-based. A family's need is defined as the difference between tuition and a family's ability to pay these expenses. We require families to complete an application, the Parents' Financial Statement (PFS), on a yearly basis through School and Student Services (SSS) to determine your ability to contribute to educational expenses. Families who demonstrate financial need may be provided with a grant to lower the amount you pay at The Savannah Country Day School. 

Apply:
To get started on your Parents' Financial Statement, visit SSS Family Portal by clicking HERE. Our school code is 7150. 

Each year, the SSS Family Portal opens on September 1, and the deadline to apply for the upcoming school year is February 25. For parents with completed financial aid files, notification begins in March. *Please note that missing financial aid deadlines may result in a lower grant amount or denial of financial aid. 

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

For additional information about financial aid, we encourage you to contact Terri Barfield, Director of Admissions and Financial Aid at barfield@savcds.org or (912) 961-8806.
