Need-based tuition assistance is a grant by Lake Ridge Academy used to offset tuition that does not have to be paid back. Financial aid is given to families who demonstrate financial need, which is defined as the difference between a family's resources and a child's educational expenses. A standardized approach is used to determine this need, and grants are awarded on a year to year basis. The school's budget accommodates a designated amount of financial aid. Lake Ridge Academy makes awards after a review of the family's financial information.
