Affordability
Oldenburg Academy wants every student to have the opportunity to attend our school, and we also recognize the additional financial challenges that families accept in choosing a private school education. Through its tuition assistance program, grants, and scholarships given by private donors, Oldenburg Academy supplements a portion of the total financial need for many students. In over 65% of our students utilize our affordability options and receive financial assistance, scholarships, and/or discounts.
Scholarships
A variety of scholarships are available for current Oldenburg Academy students to continue their OA education. Some awards are needs-based; some are based upon service, leadership or a specific skill or interest. Scholarship applications, criteria, and due dates are available online and through the Guidance Office.
Tuition Assistance
To be considered for tuition assistance parents must complete a Tuition Assistance Application. An independent company, FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment, processes the application and makes a recommendation of family need to Oldenburg Academy. Apply online at FACTS. Applications must be submitted no later than March 1. Tuition assistance awards will be made in April.
