Scholarship Application

2025-2026
Even though The Liberty School's tuition is far less than comparable programs in other parts of the country, The Liberty School Board of Directors has expended tremendous effort to make financial aid available for qualifying families. Their diverse efforts include planning fundraising events, robust grant-writing, personal contributions, and various other forms of solicitation. Our desire is that no child be denied the opportunity to attend The Liberty School because of a lack of funds.

Additionally, we are thrilled to have recently become a partner school with ACE Scholarships. While Liberty will continue to raise funds to offer scholarships, ACE has the potential to augment any support our families may receive. We are requiring our applicants to also apply for an ACE Scholarship if they would like to be considered for a Liberty Scholarship. The deadline for this year’s ACE application is April 15th. To apply, please click here.
