Financial Assistance Program

At Roots Nature & Leadership Academy, we are excited to offer a Financial Assistance Program for families in need of tuition aid. In our commitment to providing the best support for our school community, we have partnered with BeneFAQ, a highly commendable financial aid verification organization owned by SchoolRIGHT, LLC. BeneFAQ specializes in supporting private school families, recognizing the significance you place on providing a quality education for your child. We are pleased to collaborate with them in this area of expertise.

How It Works:

If your family is in need of Financial Assistance to cover tuition costs above and beyond the assistance provided through the Florida Scholarship Program, we encourage you to apply through BeneFAQ.

There is an application fee of $35 per family, per academic year.

This Financial Assistance program will be funded in part through a predetermined amount set aside by the school to support these families as well as fundraising efforts through our parent-run fundraising committee. Therefore, an initial amount will be available, with additional support depending on the success of fundraising efforts.

In the spirit of teamwork and to support these fundraising efforts, we ask that each family who applies for the Financial Assistance program support the Roots parent-run fundraising committee with the annual fundraising event focused on raising money for this program. This event helps generate funds to offer as much financial assistance as possible to families in need.
