Tuition Assistance for Current Families

Applying for Tuition Assistance at TASIS Dorado

Your family is important to us.

TASIS Dorado seeks to make our educational program available to families of all economic backgrounds. One way we do this is through our Tuition Assistance Program, which provides a personalized approach to tuition setting using a Sliding Scale model. Tuition assistance is calculated based on a family's income and expenses and determined through the Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) online application platform. To be considered for the Sliding Scale model, interested families are required to complete a confidential application.

Why we offer a Tuition Assistance Program

We are committed to making a TASIS Dorado education affordable to current families in our school community who are experiencing financial hardship.

Applying for Tuition Assistance

Step 1: Writing a Letter

  • Parents are required to write a formal letter explaining the need for financial aid, inclusive of supporting reasons (e.g., loss of income, change in household dynamics, unexpected medical expenses).
  • Email the letter to Dennis Figueroa, Director of Finance, at figueora.d@tasisdorado.com.

All information shared is confidential.

Step 2: Link to Fast Platform

  • Upon review and approval, parents will be contacted via email and provided with a link to the FAST program application portal.
  • The Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) program provides a need-based financial aid analysis service that includes an income verification process.

Step 3: Completing the Fast Application

  • Parents are required to complete the FAST application in its entirety, including official documents such as current tax filings, W2 forms, and 480 forms.
  • If parents file taxes separately, current tax filings for both parents are required.
  • If parents do not file taxes in Puerto Rico, current federal taxes are required.

Financial aid must be requested every year.

All steps must be completed annually.

Step 4: Evaluation by the Financial Aid Committee

  • The completed application is reviewed by the TASIS Dorado Financial Aid Committee.
  • Once a decision is made, parents are notified through a formal letter that is written by the Director of Finance and signed by the Head of School.

Confidentiality is key in this process.
