Tuition Assistance

For the 2022-2023 school year, we offered approximately $7.7 million in tuition assistance awards to 48% of our student body. Tuition Assistance is available for Kindergarten through Grade 12.

Moravian Academy uses an organization called School and Student Services (SSS) to help determine the financial need of a family. For general information about Financial Aid at Independent Schools, please consult the National Association of Independent Schools website. 

If your family would like to be considered for tuition assistance as part of your application to Moravian Academy, please notify your Admission Director immediately, and our team will work with you on our process. The deadline for the first round of Tuition Assistance has passed. We continue to accept Tuition Assistance applications for the year until we have exhausted funding.
 
You may request tuition assistance materials by contacting: Torsie Judkins, Director of Enrollment Management, at tjudkins@mamail.net or (610) 332-5201.

    Moravian Academy’s Tuition Assistance Committee reviews each request for tuition assistance and determines the tuition assistance grant based on the family’s need and the school’s budget. Tuition assistance decisions are announced to new families in March 2023 should all aforementioned deadlines have been met. After this date, tuition assistance decisions will be announced once your application for consideration of tuition assistance and application for consideration of admission are completed. These applications are then reviewed on a rolling basis starting in the beginning of February. Returning families who are in good standing with the business office and have met all aforementioned tuition assistance deadlines will hear from Moravian Academy regarding their grants for the 2023-2024 school year in January 2023.
