Financial Aid

Nido aims to support families that share Nido's values and appreciate its pedagogical approach but are unable to cover the entire cost of the tuition through its Financial Aid Program.

Financial Aid is need-based, and, if awarded, the family is given an offer for a discount on tuition and/or for the incorporation fee. In its decision to award financial aid, the School considers various factors including financial need, academic and behavioral history, grade level, grade capacity and funds available. The maximum tuition award is 50%; the average award is 25%. Financial aid can also be awarded toward the incorporation fee.

How to apply

To apply, families must submit the application form and supporting documents (which include but are not limited to job contract, payslips, bank statements, investment and debt certificates). The process also includes a personal interview and home visit.
