Affording a Gillispie Education
Tuition Assistance Process
Tuition Assistance is awarded solely based on need. Families who anticipate needing financial assistance with tuition for their child’s education should apply for aid when they first apply for admission to Gillispie. Gillispie uses the analysis of the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) organization to process information submitted by families. Federal income tax returns and supporting documents are also required. The resources of all parents and/or guardians, whether custodial or non-custodial, are considered in aid decisions. There is a non-refundable fee of $41 to apply for Tuition Assistance, charged in the SSS portal.
