KORE Academy Tuition Assistance
Limited financial assistance is available to parents experiencing severe difficulty in meeting the cost of tuition. Tuition grants which result in a direct reduction of tuition expenses vary in size and are awarded to selected families based on financial need. Application must be made each year to maintain eligibility as awards do not automatically renew.

FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment
KORE Academy uses FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment to compile the financial information necessary to make tuition assistance award decisions. Tuition aid recommendations will be provided to KORE by FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment, however all final tuition aid decisions will be made by a committee made up of current KORE Academy board members (there are no current parents on this committee).

Tuition Assistance Deadlines & Important Information :
CURRENT families may apply for assistance for the school year 2020-2021 beginning on:  March 2020.

Emergency Tuition Assistance
Thanks to the generosity of our current parents as well as former parents, students, and friends, KORE Academy has been able to establish a modest emergency fund for families who encounter unforeseeable financial reversals after matriculating at KORE Academy. This fund has been designed to assist only those families who are unable to meet their KORE Academy tuition obligation due to a job loss, medical emergency, or other personal hardship.  This assistance is intended to be short-term for emergency situations only. Emergency tuition assistance does not need to be repaid and will vary according to fund availability and individual need.

To apply for help from the KORE Academy Emergency Tuition Assistance Fund, please send an email to Debbie Masters at debbie.masters@koreacademy.org detailing your reasons for requesting emergency funds.
