Financial aid decisions are based on information applicant families provide to SSS (School and Student Services), an offering of the National Association of Independent Schools. Financial aid awards are made to qualified students who have enrolled in Fort Worth Academy. Awards are made by the FWA Financial Aid Committee and are strictly confidential. Financial aid is funded by Fort Worth Academy and is awarded on a yearly basis with decisions made in April and May.
