Tuition assistance at Kent Denver is based on need. Kent Denver’s financial aid committee determines need based on two factors:

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.

For information on how to get started, email us at kdsadmission@kentdenver.org.

If your ex-spouse does not participate in the financial aid process, your chances of receiving tuition assistance may be jeopardized. In certain circumstances, Kent Denver’s financial aid committee may accept confirmation from a third party who can bear witness to your family situation.

Tuition assistance awards range from $1,000 to almost full tuition support. The average award is approximately $20,000. Every family is asked to contribute a nominal amount toward the cost of a Kent Denver education.

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

No. 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. Students must remain in good academic and disciplinary standing in order to qualify for tuition assistance.

Kent Denver is the proud recipient of a $2 million grant from the Malone Family Foundation. This grant enables us to award scholarships (each up to 100% of tuition and school-related costs) to five to seven 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.
