Third Party Loans
There are several companies that provide loans for K-12 students. One of these is Sallie Mae. Their Loan information is available at http://www.salliemae.com. Another is http://www.YourTuitionSolution.com. You must go through their loan approval process and not through Shelton. Once your loan is approved and funded, Shelton will receive your Tuition from one of these sources and you repay them on the agreed upon terms. We do not know their requirements as to timing. These links are provided as information only. Shelton is not endorsing or recommending either of these sources.

Tuition Refund Plan
If purchased, the Tuition Refund Plan will refund 60% of the unused portion of the paid tuition should you decide to withdraw your student from the school for any reason, and 75% for medical reasons. The Tuition Refund Plam is an optional fee unless it was made a condition on your student's contract.
If you do not want to purchase the tuition refund plan for $300, please notify Leslie Cashdollar in the Business Office: lcashdollar@shelton.org.
To receive a refund, you must have paid for the Tuition Refund Plan when your tuition was paid and your student must have attended at least 14 consecutive days of school. Please contact the Business Office to begin the refund process.
Tuition Assistance
Through its tuition assistance program, Shelton strives to make a student’s education both accessible and affordable. Shelton uses a third-party program, FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment, to aid in determining a family’s ability to pay their student’s tuition. The availability of school funds is also a factor in tuition assistance decisions. All applications are reviewed by the tuition assistance committee and kept in strict confidence. Every effort is made to award some amount of tuition assistance to eligible candidates. Applications must be submitted annually with the required information for a family to be eligible for assistance each year. Please note that all financially responsible parties must submit financial information when one party is applying for tuition assistance.
Applications for 2020-2021 School Year:
January 31, 2020 FACTS Grant & Aid application will be available for returning students through online re-enrollment. Families MUST have completed the re- enrollment process and have a FACTS account set up to be eligible for tuition assistance.
February 28, 2020 FACTS Grant & Aid application will close for the 2020-2021 school year. You MUST complete your application by this date to be considered for assistance.
Mid- April, 2020 Families will be notified of tuition assistance awards.
