Tuition/Financial Aid
Tuition assistance is available!
GSS is committed to providing options for tuition payments, including payment plans, scholarships, and financial aid. If you would like to discuss tuition with the Head of School, please set up an appointment at (916) 444-2400.
Financial Aid
Currently, GSS uses TADS for financial aid services. According to TADS, tuition assistance is available on the basis of demonstrated need. Applications for tuition assistance may be completed online at www.tuitionaid.com or picked up at GSS and mailed directly to TADS. The processing fee is made payable to TADS. Failure to pay the processing fee may delay the evaluation. 
Other Tuition Finance Options
Student loans for grades K-8 are available through many financial institutions. Below please find links to a variety of financial institutions offering student loans in the greater Sacramento region. Some may offer extended payment periods, monthly and annually. This may make tuition more affordable for some families. Some loans may also be used as “bridge loans”. Although most financial institutions do charge interest, none of this interest goes to GSS.
