Financial Aid:
DNA Prep seeks to provide our specialty school available to any committed student-artist or athlete and to create an inclusive community made up families from different socio-economic, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds. We recognize that a diverse student body enhances the learning experience for all of our students and overall learning environment. To meet this goal, we encourage families who do not have the financial means to meet the tuition obligation to apply for financial aid. Our financial aid needs determination is performed by the independent School and Student Service (“SSS”) company and is a process that keeps all family financial information submitted strictly confidential. All records are maintained offsite within SSS secured system and only members of the financial aid committee are provided access to the SSS analysis.
