Provide tuition assistance

We can help you afford a Fishburne education more easily

We know that the cost of private military-style education can be daunting。Is that why Fishburne offers so many ways to help you realize your son's dream of coming here。We offer need-based financial aid, tuition waivers, scholarships, and K-12 student loans。

Financial aid grant

Fishburne Military School offers financial aid to help cover tuition for eligible families。This assistance is in the form of grants (which do not need to be repaid)。Financial assistance is limited and granted on a first-come, first-served basis;Therefore, it is important to apply as soon as possible。No financial assistance is provided for summer meetings。

Application for review

Once we receive your completed application, it will be reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee (which usually meets once a week)。Applicants typically have two weeks to accept an offer of financial aid, after which the offer may be withdrawn。Once a non-refundable deposit is received, financial assistance is complete。

Divorced or separated parents/guardians

For divorced or separated parents/guardians, Fishburne will typically consider the assets of the biological parent/guardian (if still alive) before making any ruling。Therefore, both groups of parents/guardians are required to submit all financial aid forms。If the custodial or non-custodial parent/guardian remarries, we will also consider the assets of the stepparent。

Financial assistance for the summer Conference

We do not provide financial assistance for summer meetings。
