Scholarships, Financial Aid and Tuition

Our specialized approach to education and high standards of performance are undeniably labor-intensive and costly. But our students and their families believe that the achievements they reach speak to the value of their investment.

Landmark's financial aid packages typically consist of a mix of state and federal grants and loans, as well as college scholarship support of up to $30,000.

Families interested in receiving financial assistance are encouraged to complete the financial aid process as soon as possible.
