Tuition & Financial Assistance

The Rise School of Austin tuition for the school year 2008-2009 is $10,560.  This cost includes full-time school and integrated therapies (including physical, occupational, speech, and music therapies).  The first sibling enrolled will receive 30% off their tuition.  Tuition for children without any developmental delays that attend the program part-time is $4,224 a year for children attending two days a week and $6,336 a year for children attending three days a week.  Children with developmental delays must attend full-time in order to benefit from the program.

For new students, a non-refundable application fee of $75 is due at time of acceptance.  A non-refundable deposit of $440.00 is also due at this time to hold the space.  A supply fee of $50 will be due in August and January to cover the cost of perishables and other materials needed for children’s classroom activities.

For returning students, there is no application fee.  A non-refundable deposit of $440.00 is due by March 1st, along with the letter of commitment for the upcoming school year.

Financial aid is available to those that qualify. This aid could provide financial assistance from 20% up to 80% off the regular tuition cost based on the family's adjusted gross household income and the number of persons living in the household. Part-time students are not eligible for financial aid.  To apply for financial aid, the family needs to fill out a Financial Aid form. You can obtain a form and instructions by clicking on the link below or calling Joan P. David at 512-891-1680.  The information is reviewed by an outside accountant to preserve confidentiality of information.  Once a determination is made, the Director will notify the family about the category of financial aid to be applied to the student's tuition based on established criteria.
