North Broward Preparatory School understands that individual economic circumstances vary. We value you and your child as part of our school community, and we are committed to providing limited amounts of aid as needed.
Within the limits of available funds, NBPS seeks to provide tuition assistance to qualified students, who must have and maintain a GPA of 2.5 or higher. The Financial Aid Committee reviews the student’s grades, citizenship, participation in the school community, and disciplinary records. Financial Aid awards are based on the financial need of the family.
The school’s policy for determining financial need is based on the principle that both parents are responsible for the support and educational expenses of their children. We consider the assets of both parents, if living, before making the award. Both parents are expected to be gainfully employed unless there are children under the age of four years living at home. If the custodial parent has remarried, we will consider the assets of the step-parent, taking into consideration the obligations to his or her natural children.
Returning students are given preference, providing they meet all deadline dates. A family receiving financial aid must reapply each year and meet all the guidelines set forth by the Financial Aid Committee.
Students must be accepted before the financial aid requests will be processed. This entire process is confidential.

| Q. | I am not sure if our family will qualify for Financial Aid. Is it worth applying? | | A. | If you are unsure whether or not you will qualify, you may contact Mercedes Muniz-Bueno, at 954.247.0011 ext. 314 for advice. |
|
| Q. | When will we be notified if we have received an award? | | A. | Families are notified once the completed financial aid documents (processed FAST, current tax forms with W-2) are submitted and a decision is determined by the Financial Aid Committee. |
|
| Q. | Will applying for Financial Aid affect my child’s chances for admission? | | A. | No. Students are admitted to NBPS based on their academic ability, not their financial status. Admission decisions are made separately from financial aid decisions. Students must be accepted to NBPS prior to applying or being granted financial aid. |
|
| Q. | Will my child’s Financial Aid award change from year to year? | | A. | Families must file with the FAST each year. Financial aid is recalculated each year using current information. If your financial situation has changed, then your financial award may change. Each year you must submit current tax forms and W-2 forms to the Business Office.
