Financial Aid
We award $2.7 million in financial aid each year, supporting 30% of our student body. Financial aid is available to students of any race, gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. Family finances are confidential and do not affect a student’s admission decision. Financial aid is determined after a student has been accepted and is awarded in the form of a tuition grant. All students applying for financial aid will be considered for over 20 named scholarships. At Indian Springs, all scholarships are need-based.
Indian Springs is committed to helping our families return for each school year. Every family receiving financial aid will be required to complete the financial aid process annually while at Indian Springs to determine eligibility. Families' financial situations will change from year to year, and awards will be adjusted to reflect the amount for which a family qualifies.

How to Apply for Financial Aid
Indian Spring’s financial aid program is designed to make an Indian Springs education possible for all families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. Indian Springs is proud to use the Clarity Application to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application, which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts.
To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Simply use the dropdown menu in the application to select those schools.
Please remember to return to your dashboard after you complete and submit your Clarity Application, as Indian Springs requires you to upload additional tax documentation.
The deadline for completing the financial aid application, including relevant supplemental documents, is December 1, 2025, for returning families, January 24, 2026, for new day families, and January 31, 2026, for new boarding families.
If you need support during the process of completing your application, there is in-app support available through the “Help” button in the bottom left of the screen, as well as email and phone support at support@claritytuition.com or 206-210-3752 in both English and Spanish. The application itself is also fully translated into Spanish.
In addition to the clarity application, Alabama residents requesting financial aid are expected to apply for a CHOOSE Act award. CHOOSE Act applications go live on January 2, 2026. Choose Act applications — including all required supporting documentation — must be submitted to the Alabama Department of Revenue (ADOR) no later than March 31, 2026 in order to be considered for an award. Eligibility for CHOOSE Act awards will be determined by the ADOR.
Please note that financial aid awards that may be offset by CHOOSE Act funding are contingent upon the timely submission of a completed CHOOSE Act application by March 31, 2026.
While the CHOOSE Act application portal remains open until April 7, families should plan to begin the application process early to ensure there is adequate time to gather and submit all required documentation by March 31. In most cases, families may use their most recently filed federal tax return (for example, 2024) when completing the CHOOSE Act application, so there is no need to wait until your 2025 taxes are filed in order to begin.
More information about the CHOOSE Act and instructions on how to apply can be found at ClassWallet’s CHOOSE portal: https://classwallet.com/alchoose/ .

Senior Scholar Program
The Senior Scholars program allows a rising senior to switch from day to boarding each year. This program provides a unique opportunity for students to experience residential life before college, and students are able to make lifelong memories in the dormitories before embarking on their next chapter.
The recipient(s) of the scholarship will each receive aid to help offset the tuition difference between day and boarding. Families hoping to receive additional financial support beyond this will need to apply for need-based financial aid. To apply for the Senior Scholars program, students must send their resumes to Associate Director of Admission Mandy Griffin at mandy.griffin@indiansprings.org. The deadline to apply is January 31, 2026.
