Financial Aid
Early in the formation of Tarbiyah Academy, the Board acknowledged that there would be qualified students who lacked the financial resources to pay for tuition.
Members of the Board recognized that not only would these children benefit from a Tarbiyah education, they would also enrich the School. Despite the finite and scarce nature of financial aid monies, Tarbiyah will do its best to balance a variety of competing interests when making financial aid decisions and awards.
