Affording Amistad

At Seattle Amistad School, we believe every child deserves access to an excellent education, and that our community is stronger when it reflects a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Our financial aid program exists to ensure that tuition is not a barrier for families who share our vision.

Financial aid and admissions decisions are made separately but are communicated at the same time. In the event that we are unable to provide funds for an admitted student, the student will be placed in our wait pool until resources become available.

We offer financial aid and scholarships to help families with tuition, and we also provide support for additional expenses such as books, transportation, and enrichment opportunities. Families are also invited to connect through optional Financial Aid Affinity Groups for community and shared resources.

Important Date:
Financial aid applications and all supporting documents are due January 21, 2025.
