While all JB families are eligible for the Ohio Autism or Jon Peterson Special Needs scholarship, additional financial assistance may be needed to bridge the gap between tuition, the scholarship and the family's financial responsibility. Applying for financial aid is a common part of the enrollment process. Financial aid and scholarships are NOT the same but both go towards the payment of tuition.
Who Can Apply?
- Any family who has been offered enrollment at Julie Billiart Schools can apply for financial aid.
- Families will need to demonstrate financial need in order to receive aid.
- Awards are based on available funding and demonstrated need.
How to Apply
- Once your child has been offered a seat at one of our campuses, we will share the financial aid application link with you. This financial aid application is separate from the scholarship application.
- You will need:
- Tax documents
- Household income information
- Custodial agreements and/or divorce decrees if there is shared financial responsibility for the child
Financial Aid FAQs
Is financial aid guaranteed every year my child attends JB?
No. Returning families will have to re-apply for financial aid annually. In early spring, we will send current families information about re-enrollment and financial aid.
How is financial aid determined?
Financial awards are determined based on household income in relation to the federal poverty level.
Does financial aid impact admission?
No, admissions decisions are made prior to any financial aid and scholarship processing.
Should I apply for financial aid when I apply to JB?
No. You will not be able to apply for financial aid until you are offered enrollment at a Julie Billiart Schools campus. Our enrollment team will share the application information with you upon accepting your enrollment offer.
How long does the financial aid and scholarship process take?
Upon receiving the proper documentation from the admitted family, the entire financial aid and scholarship process can take anywhere up to 30-45 days.
