At Crossroads, one of our founding commitments is to develop and sustain a student population that includes significant socio-economic diversity.
It's our goal to make a Crossroads education affordable to as many families as possible. That's why Crossroads allocates over $10 million in financial aid to at least 1 in 4 of our students, representing a broad spectrum of financial circumstances. Allocations range from $1,000 to the full cost of tuition, with our average financial aid award covering 75% of tuition. Families who receive financial aid can pay their tuition balance over 10 payments. Many non-tuition related expenses (including transportation, books, laptops, etc.) can be covered with inclusion aid awards.
Crossroads strives to maintain a socio-economically diverse student body and to ensure that the process of allocating aid is fair and equitable. If you have any questions about the financial aid application process or program, please feel free to contact the Office of Admission and Financial Aid. We look forward to hearing from you!
Please select the box on the Admission Application in Ravenna HUB that indicates your interest in financial aid. This will ensure you receive important communications regarding financial aid steps, events and deadlines.
All families seeking aid must complete the Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) for the applicant child(ren) and upload your complete 2018 and 2019 Federal Tax Return (with all schedules) to the School and Student Services website by Jan. 15, 2021. The Crossroads School code for the PFS is 2676.
