OCS NEED-BASED FINANCIAL AID

There are two types of financial aid available.  Both programs are based on financial need and availability. A new application is required each year.  The Financial Need Program is available to students in any grade who have been enrolled for at least one year.  Applicants to the Financial Need Program may receive 10% in tuition aid.  The deadline for applications is May 1st for the following school year.

Minority students in grades 6 – 12 may apply for the Minority Aid Program (MAP).  Eligible applicants may receive 10% - 50% aid, based on the family income level and available funding. Applications for MAP are accepted year-round.  The deadline for re-application for MAP applications is May 1 for the following school year
