Affording HGS

We understand that investing in your child's education is a big commitment. Our families use various resources to pay tuition. These include:

  • child's college fund
  • home equity loan
  • help from grandparents
  • at-home parent returning to the workforce
  • financial aid

*Families with household income below $50,000 will qualify for substantial financial aid. Families with a household income below $100,000 may qualify for significant financial aid, depending on number of family members, expenses, amount of home equity, etc. Families with income between $100,000 and $120,000 may qualify for some financial aid, depending on number of children, children in college, medical expenses, etc.
