A NuVu education is a powerful and life-changing investment in your child’s future. When you look at the tuition numbers, don’t make the mistake of assuming that NuVu is out of reach for your family. If your child is motivated and ready to engage fully in the innovation, design, creative, and thinking opportunities NuVu has to offer — and if you are ready to invest in a deep partnership to prepare your child for college and the world beyond — we encourage you to inquire. There are many ways to afford NuVu, including financial aid and scholarships, and we are here to help every qualified applicant find their way.
Applicants may be awarded tuition assistance based on family needs and the availability of financial aid funds. Financial aid applications are due with admissions applications forms. Financial aid determinations are announced with four weeks of submission.
