Financial Aid

At Villa Walsh, we believe that tuition should not be a barrier to your daughter's education.

We welcome girls of exceptional ability, character and talent to our school, and our dedication to financial aid allows every girl to have the opportunity to thrive. Currently, 20% of our student body receives aid, representing families from a wide range of incomes. All Villa Walsh Academy families who request financial aid assistance must complete a Financial Aid Application (FAA).

The financial aid system is now CLOSED for applications for the 2026-2027 school year.

The system will open on October 1st.
