Affording an MSA Education

An MSA education may be more affordable than you think.

Mill Springs Academy is committed to being a diverse and inclusive community reflecting a broad range of socioeconomic families. It is our underlying assumption that each family should bear the primary responsibility for financing their children’s educational costs to the extent they are able. Below, we offer information on the options to assist families in affording a Mill Springs Academy educational experience. Students who will benefit from our small class sizes, individualized instruction and support, academic rigor, and exceptional Fine Arts and Athletic programs should not be deterred from applying for admission due to financial constraints.

Please take a moment to review the options and direct any financial aid questions to financialaid@millsprings.org.

SB 10

The Georgia Special Needs Scholarship Program was passed into law in 2008 to help families with children in public schools receiving services under a current IEP and/or 504 plan to more easily exercise their right to school choice. The Georgia Department of Education administers the program. These funds are used to help families lower their tuition burden at qualified independent schools.

For eligibility requirements and more information on the GSNS Program, please visit the Georgia Department of Education Special Needs Scholarship Program web page.

Need-based Financial Aid

Mill Springs Academy sustains a need-based financial aid program designed to make the School’s educational experience accessible to qualified students who could not afford to enroll otherwise. Submitting an inquiry or application for financial aid has no bearing on the admission decision. Financial aid funds are used to enroll students who the School believes will strengthen our community and benefit from the Mill Springs Academy educational experience. Financial aid resources may also support current families who experience a significant change in financial circumstances in a given year. New and current families apply through the confidential process using the process outlined below. Please direct any financial aid questions to financialaid@millsprings.org.

Create and submit the financial aid application and supporting documentation using the FACTS Financial Aid Portal. If you have questions, please refer to the FACTS Customer Service page.
