I'm curious about the cost of attending Culver Military Academy. I've heard it's a pretty prestigious school, but I'm unsure if I'd be able to afford it. Can anyone provide details on tuition fees and possible financial aid?
Culver Military Academy is indeed a prestigious school, located in Culver, Indiana. As per the latest information, the tuition for a full academic year for boarding students is approximately $52,200 and for day students is approximately $24,000. These costs include things like tuition, meals, and various student activities, but do not cover additional costs like uniforms and books which could potentially add up to couple of thousand dollars more.
As for financial aid, Culver Military Academy does have a significant financial aid program to help families afford the tuition. They mention that nearly 40% of their students receive some form of financial aid, so it's definitely worth applying. Your financial aid package is determined based on your family's demonstrated financial need, and the school uses the School and Student Service (SSS) to help evaluate that need.
Make sure to complete the Parents' Financial Statement (PFS) via SSS and submit all required documents by their deadlines. Financial aid decisions are generally made and sent out in March, in tandem with the admissions decisions. I recommend contacting the school's admissions or financial aid office directly for the most current and detailed information.
