TUITION, SCHOLARSHIPS & AID
We strongly believe that a student’s access to a stellar college preparatory education should not be limited by their family’s ability to pay full tuition.
FVS is proud to offer multiple forms of support for families including our robust and equitable financial aid program and our merit-based scholarships. Our affordability programs allow us to enroll highly qualified students regardless of family resources.

APPLYING FOR Need-Based AID
It is Fountain Valley's expectation that families contribute to the cost of their student’s education at the highest level possible, with multiple factors taken into consideration when assessing individual financial needs and qualifications. Two forms of financial assistance–need-based financial aid and merit-based scholarships–are offered at FVS, averaging $3.4M in tuition assistance per academic year.
