Frankford Friends School wants to support your path to joining our community. Need-based tuition assistance is available for students in PreKindergarten through 8th grade.
Applying for tuition assistance does not impact the admissions decision. However, we encourage families to submit their assistance applications along with the admissions application to ensure that any award notification can be provided at the time of acceptance, giving you a clear understanding of your financial commitment.
Families applying for assistance are strongly encouraged to also apply for additional support through the Children's Scholarship Fund.
