VARIABLE TUITION PROGRAM
We want children of all socioeconomic backgrounds to have access to a Riley education and are dedicated to working with families to find any available solution to address financial barriers.
Families can choose to take advantage of our variable tuition program. Rather than adhering to a traditional fixed tuition rate, variable tuition allows families to pay tuition based on their ability to contribute, taking into consideration factors such as income, family size, and extenuating financial circumstances.
In an effort to make the process equitable and transparent, we are using School & Student Services (SSS) to process requests. Using this platform allows a seamless connection to tax documentation. Once a family submits their application, SSS uses an algorithm to determine what that family should be able to contribute toward their child(ren)’s tuition. That information is shared with Riley and our Variable Tuition Committee then determines awards.
