Tuition Assistance
From our founding in 1993, TGS leadership has committed to making Geneva available to as many people as possible through our generous tuition assistance program, and is also committed to exercising financial prudence while supporting and growing our resources—people, programs, and facilities—in order to achieve our mission to inspire students “to love beauty, think deeply, and pursue Christ’s calling.”
The Geneva School accepts awards administered through Step Up For Students. Step Up for Student awards are available to Florida residents, regardless of household income, who are eligible to attend a K–12 public school. The average private school award for the 2025–26 school year was $8,000.
In addition, TGS also offers tuition assistance to families with students in grades K4–12. Geneva utilizes the online service of FACTS Financial Aid Management to help determine how much assistance the school will provide to families. Students must meet Geneva’s admission requirements and be accepted.
A family may submit an application for tuition assistance from both Step Up for Students and FACTS Financial Aid Management. Parents are responsible for any amount not covered by tuition assistance. Please see the explanations below for information about each agency.
Step Up For Students

FACTS Financial Aid Management
FACTS Financial Aid Management is an independent, third party company that conducts unbiased and confidential financial analysis to determine a family’s need for financial aid. Geneva receives a confidential report outlining a family’s financial situation based on the information obtained in their application and supporting tax documents. The application fee is nominal, and any family who is unable to pay full tuition because of financial need is encouraged to submit an application.
Decisions are based on a family’s financial need and school funds available.Typically, decision notifications for current families are emailed within a week of FACTS verifying the application. Prospective families are advised of the tuition assistance decision by email after the applicant has received an offer of admission. Please Note: No financial aid notifications are emailed until after tuition rates for the new school year are determined (usually in January).
If a family has already enrolled and the deadlines outlined below are missed or they decide not to apply for tuition assistance, please refer to the enrollment agreement for information on financial obligations.

| Who? | FACTS Financial Aid Application Deadline | Supporting Documents |
|---|---|---|
| Current Families | The FACTS Financial Aid application opens on November 1. Current families should submit the tuition assistance application by February 15. If a current family does not apply for tuition assistance by February 15, then they become obligated to pay the full tuition for the next school year, even if they do not receive any tuition assistance. If a current family applies by the February 15 deadline, they may choose to un-enroll their student if they do not receive the amount needed and no tuition for the following school year will be charged. A family has three business days to accept or decline their scholarship once they are notified. | For financial aid applications for the 2026–2027 school year, you may submit your 2024 or 2025 tax return. |
| New Families | The FACTS Financial Aid application opens on November 1. New families applying to Geneva should submit the tuition assistance application soon after they submit the student application. Once a student is accepted, they must enroll and pay the $100 nonrefundable enrollment fee deposit to hold their space. Because Geneva's admission process is need-blind, tuition assistance packets are not reviewed until after a student is enrolled. After a student has enrolled, the business office will review the tuition assistance packet and notify parents regarding any tuition assistance awarded. At that time the balance of the enrollment fee will be due. | For financial aid applications for the 2026–2027 school year, you may submit your 2024 or 2025 tax return. |
