Tuition & Financial Aid

Families apply for financial aid through  the online FACTS application, which opens on October 1. Applications are due no later than January 31. 

Need help or have questions? Please keep an eye out for invitations to our Financial Aid Workshops on January 11 (Zoom) and January 22, 2022 (in-person). All families in the admission process will be invited to attend these events.

1. Recommendations from FACTS, a third-party grant and aid assessment company that takes into consideration several financial attributes, including income, debt, assets, the number of family members who attend a tuition-based school, etc.
2. Information provided by the applicant directly to the school.

At Kent Denver, FACTS recommendations are only guidelines. Our financial aid committee reviews every application individually and makes final award decisions.

Tuition assistance awards range from $1,000 to nearly 100% support for tuition, books, fees and incidentals. Note: Every family contributes some amount toward the cost of a Kent Denver education, based on their financial ability.

No. Unlike loans, our awards never have to be paid back.

Tuition assistance awards are not guaranteed to remain the same year to year; in fact, they will change as families’ financial circumstances change. Because families may need one level of assistance one year—and more or less the next—all families are required to submit a new financial aid application every year.

Kent Denver is the proud recipient of a $2 million grant from the Malone Family Foundation. This grant enables us to award tuition and school-related costs to 5 to 7 exceptional Malone Scholars each year. Kent Denver was one of four schools nationwide to be honored with an endowment from the Malone Family Foundation in 2006.

The Malone Scholar Endowment Fund significantly increases Kent Denver’s ability to offer scholarships and school-related expenses to exceptionally motivated and capable students with financial need in grades 7-12. Kent Denver was chosen to receive this generous gift based on high academic caliber, quality of school staff, attention to individual student needs, interests and talents, financial strength and stability, a commitment to financial aid and an economically, culturally, ethnically and socially diverse population.

Malone Scholars are selected during the normal course of the admission and financial aid application process. There is no special application for this program.
