Affording Chelsea
Chelsea Academy strives to make its faithful Catholic liberal arts education accessible to as many mission-aligned families as possible.
Recognizing that not all families can afford to pay the full tuition, Chelsea Academy makes available some financial aid on a need basis. Our financial aid awards are generous, but limited. For this reason, it is strongly suggested that financial aid applications be submitted no later than February 15.
To ensure privacy, accuracy, and fairness in the financial aid application process, all applications are managed by FACTS, an independent company that provides grant and aid assessment services for schools. Although FACTS conducts financial need analysis and makes recommendations for the allocation of financial aid, all award decisions are made by Chelsea Academy’s Financial Aid Committee.
Families seeking financial assistance should complete and submit a Grant and Aid Application along with the necessary supporting documentation and the $40 fee.
