Financial aid & discounts

Lake Mary Prep welcomes students of all backgrounds and is committed to helping make our educational opportunities more accessible to qualified applicants.

Lake Mary Preparatory School accepts Florida Empowerment Scholarship (FES-EO), Florida Empowerment Scholarship for Unique Abilities (FES-UA), and the HOPE Scholarship awarded by Step Up For StudentsThese scholarships can award $7,000 to $10,000 per student and can help defray the cost of tuition. 

It's important to note that a parentally placed private school student with a disability does not have an individual right to receive some or all of the special education and related services that the child would receive if enrolled in a public school under the IDEA.  

Lake Mary Prep allocates a set amount in need-based financial aid to qualified families. Financial aid must be applied for and evaluated annually. The application process for financial aid is self-managed and allows families to track each step from start to finish.  

Lake Mary Preparatory does not offer academic, athletic, or other merit-based scholarships. Additionally, our school limits the awarding of financial aid to two children per family at a time. A student should be enrolled for at least one year.

International students are not eligible for financial aid. 

To objectively determine each family's need for assistance, Lake Mary Prep uses FACTS, a third-party service to process financial aid applications and assess a family’s financial need. It simplifies the aid process by allowing families to complete one application, upload tax documents, and view real-time status updates.

Disbursement of funds is contingent upon the results of a completed FACTS application and a review by our Tuition Assistance Committee.  

Lake Mary Preparatory School awards financial aid to students without regard to race, gender, religion, national origin, or disability. 

Families enrolling two or more children at Lake Mary Preparatory School benefit from a sibling discount: the second child receives a $500 discount on tuition fees, while the third youngest receives a $750 discount.
