financial aid
We never want finances to hinder someone from remaining in/becoming a part of our covenant family. If you believe your family is a good fit for Perimeter School but have financial concerns, please take the appropriate steps below and give our team the opportunity to offer aid.
Our families believe we serve a generous God, and we want to model that in our lives and our finances to EVERY family, despite income, circumstances, or any other barriers that may affect your ability to be where you belong.
inquiring families
As a ministry of Perimeter Church, Perimeter School offers Perimeter Church members a tuition discount.
In addition, subject to the availability of funds, the Georgia GOAL Scholarship may be an option for families who have a child:
entering kindergarten
entering pre-first
entering first
coming from public school or who has been homeschooled and registered with the state of Georgia for at least one year.
To apply for this scholarship, fill out the Grant and Aid section in FACTS, and upload all supporting documentation.
The early-bird and staff financial aid deadline is February 7, 2024. If you submit your FACTS Grant & Aid application and attach your tax return to the application no later than this early-bird deadline, you will be notified by mid-February of any financial aid dollars distributed to your student(s). Early-bird submissions will be reviewed first. Because scholarship funds are limited, submitting during this time gives families a better chance of receiving funds, since these allocations will occur before the second financial aid deadline.
The standard financial aid deadline is February 28, 2024*. If you submit your FACTS Grant & Aid application and attach your tax return to the application no later than this standard deadline, you will receive your notification of possible financial aid at the same time that a decision letter is emailed.
*If your Perimeter School application is submitted after February 2024, you may apply for financial aid provided funds are still available.
