• Tuition assistance at CSG is based on demonstrated need and is intended as a supplement to a family's financial resources. Every family is required to invest something toward their daughter’s education.
• Families of students receiving tuition assistance must reapply every year, and tuition assistance will be adjusted to reflect changes in tuition and in a family’s financial circumstances.
• CSG makes a long-term commitment to continue to provide tuition assistance to a family as long as they demonstrate need.
• CSG maintains the same standards of behavior and academic performance for recipients of tuition assistance as it does for non-recipients.
• Columbus School for Girls administers its admission, tuition assistance, and employment policies without regard to race, religion, creed, sexual orientation, or national origin.
• The tuition assistance committee uses the analysis provided by School and Student Services by NAIS, our tuition assistance management system as a starting point, and will consider additional information provided by the family when determining each family’s ability to pay tuition.
• CSG’s policy regarding divorced, separated, or never-married parents is that both natural parents must complete the tuition assistance application process (if living). We look for each family’s ability to pay, not their willingness to pay. If the custodial parent has remarried, we also will consider assets of the step-parent (bearing in mind the obligations of that step-parent to his or her own natural children). CSG reserves the right to impute income in the absence of required information.
• CSG expects both parents to maximize their earning potential. We reserve the right to impute an income for a non-working parent who does not have young children or other family members to care for at home.
