STEP 5: APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID
​
​De La Salle Academy has a need-blind admissions policy, which means a family’s financial status is not considered when deciding admissions. Tuition is only determined after acceptance, and based on a family’s ability to pay. Families must be invited to apply for financial aid using Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS). We will use the information you submit to determine a fair amount of aid during final decisions. If your family has already completed the TADS financial form for another school, please add De La Salle Academy to the application.
​
De La Salle Academy will accept admission and financial aid applications as long as there are still seats available.
​
ADMISSION DECISIONS AND FINANCIAL AID AWARDS
​
Admission decisions and financial aid awards will be announced via email on Tuesday, April 8 by
4 P.M. All required materials for each application must be submitted by the respective deadlines.
