Financial Support
Making AIS accessible.
AIS is committed to enrolling students who demonstrate academic promise and contribute to our diverse school community. Financial assistance is available to families with demonstrated need, through Financial Aid and Bourses Scolaires Françaises.
Need-Based Financial Aid
Tuition assistance is available to families with demonstrated financial need. Each year, families must complete a financial aid application through FACTS Grant & Aid, along with providing the required supporting documentation. The AIS Financial Aid Committee uses FACTS data and established income guidelines to review and award financial aid.
While we make every effort to meet the demonstrated need of all admitted applicants, resources may not always be sufficient to cover the full need. All required documents must be submitted by the prescribed deadlines for both new and returning students.
Families will receive financial aid decisions before enrollment commitments are due.
Start Financial Aid ApplicationFrench Government Scholarships
French citizens may be eligible for Bourses Scolaires Françaises (French School Scholarships) through the French government. The AIS Tuition Assistance program can supplement amounts granted by the French government when an additional need exists.
Families may apply for both French government scholarships and AIS tuition assistance. However, AIS will only review internal tuition assistance applications after families receive their French government scholarship decision.
