Financial Assistance

Riverside Presbyterian Day School admits students of any race, creed, color, sex, or national origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and aid programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. The distribution of awards will adhere to the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) principles of Good Practice for Financial Aid with special attention to fairness, equity and confidentiality.

Grants from outside funding sources (for example, state scholarships through Step Up for Students) will be considered part of the student’s Financial Assistance award and must be disclosed to RPDS. In order for RPDS Financial Assistance applications to be considered, families applying for RPDS Financial Assistance with children entering Kindergarten through Sixth Grade must apply for a Florida School Choice Scholarship through Step Up for Students.

Please note that if you have already been awarded financial assistance, and you receive a state scholarship award later, no additional award will be made. We will reduce your RPDS financial assistance award by the amount of your state scholarship award, which allows more families who are not eligible to receive state scholarships to receive financial assistance.
