Tuition Assistance
In this day of economic uncertainty and rising costs, it can be difficult to imagine factoring an Elmwood Franklin tuition into the family budget. But often, with financial assistance and planning, an EFS education can become a reality. No student should fail to apply to Elmwood Franklin solely because of financial considerations. While no student receives full tuition assistance, EFS remains committed to providing financial help to families of qualified students who otherwise could not attend our school. In fact, more than 30 percent of our current families receive financial aid.
