Tuition & Financial Aid

photo of studentsNew Vista School provides Tuition Assistance to families in need based on an application process.

Families are asked to participate in an application process with three key pieces of documentation to be considered, after which a committee reviews the data compiled by an independent organization.

  • Online Application  (nominal fee required)
  • Income Tax Return  
  • Last 3 months of bank statements (checking & savings)
  • Be sure to include all sources of income

The deadline for submitting your online application and additional required financial documents is April 30th of the application year. Applications will not be accepted after this date.

How to Get Started

Click on the link below:

NOTE: If you applied for tuition assistance last year, simply use the same login as a “Returning Family”

  • Create your PFS online account with your email address and password. Enter (SSS) School Code 4454.
  • Begin a PFS for the Academic Year. You can log out of the PFS online at any time and complete.
  • After you have pressed submit, a payment screen will be prompted. The fee for your application is $47 (nonrefundable). Once your PFS is submitted, it cannot be withdrawn from the SSS system.
  • Complete the online “Family Contribution Worksheet, Household Information, Additional Information, and Documents.” You can upload your Income Tax Returns and 3 months of savings and checking bank statements on the document portion, or submit hard copies to the front office.

New Vista School contracts with School and Student Services (SSS), as a third party, to determine initial financial eligibility.  They determine the need level based on the application made directly to SSS.  Upon receipt of the documentation at New Vista School, the Tuition Assistance Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the applications.  We will communicate our Tuition Assistance decision to you directly.

Each award is limited to a maximum of 50% of the tuition cost for that year. The total capacity for tuition assistance is limited, so parents should apply as soon as possible. We are always pleased to award students the opportunity to attend New Vista School.

Students leave New Vista with a greater sense of confidence…

In the past 3 years I have witnessed firsthand the change that takes place within students who go through our Transition program. These students leave New Vista with a greater sense of confidence after having been given the opportunity to work in a real business and gain experiences in multiple community environments. With the proper training, attitude, and a little patience, these young adults can achieve any goals they set their mind to.

The options after graduation are now wide open for her…

Our daughter started New Vista in 7th grade with the plan that she would only stay there for her middle school years. We were so happy with her progress, that now, 5 years later, she is about to graduate. Thanks to the New Vista teachers and staff, she has blossomed socially and academically, and she has been able to participate in high school activities we never thought possible. The options after graduation are now wide open for her…

Thank you!

I can give you a story of my son’s journey but this quote basically sums it up. “You transformed an impossible child into an adult with possibilities.” Regarding plans after Noah graduates… NVS’ adult program. I’m excited to be participating at ground level with other senior parents and Ms. Donnelly. Thank you!

NVS Parent

He received such a great education foundation…

I want to thank you all for the great job you all did with my son. He received such a great education foundation from each of you at NVS. He is doing a very good job at College. He is currently a “B plus” student on all his classes, and best of all, that he just received his first Math exam result of a 100% grade. I cannot be more proud of him and am very thankful to all NVS staff. Now he is a very responsible and independent college student.

NVS Parent

Exceeded our expectations…

Our experience at New Vista School over the past 3 plus years has been outstanding. After trying three other schools and investigating many more, we found a school that “gets” our child. The teachers and administrators have created an individualized plan, both academic and behavioral, that has exceeded our expectations.

NVS Parent

Sincere thanks to the whole NVS Staff…

Our experience at New Vista has been night and day from our previous experience in the school district public system! Teachers in the public system repeatedly said our son was unable to read and comprehend third grade books. At New Vista, our son has read 33 books in the last 4.5 months – 82% of them at a grade level of 4.6. Sincere thanks to the whole NVS Staff for your dedication and commitment in helping these kids do better in life.
