Westchester Introduces Tuition Fund for Thomasville Students
A new fund at Westchester Country Day School will provide K-12 students from Thomasville with the opportunity to receive financial assistance to make private school tuition more affordable.
The WCDS Thomasville Education Fund, established by an anonymous donor, is an extension of the school’s financial aid and will help cover up to 80 percent of tuition at Westchester. The fund will support qualifying students who have financial need and are inhabitants of Thomasville. It is open to students enrolling at the school for the first time.
“This fund is a win-win for Westchester and the Thomasville community,” said Cobb Atkinson, head of school. “The school has served students from Davidson County for 55 years, providing an independent school option for families looking for the highest quality academic and enrichment programs for their children. We look forward to welcoming new students from Thomasville and offering an opportunity for more families to consider Westchester for their child’s K-12 education.”
The Thomasville Education Fund supports Westchester’s Indexed Tuition program, the school’s commitment to providing affordable private education for families. Annual tuition is listed as a range and is determined based on a family’s ability to contribute toward educational expenses.
“Westchester actively seeks ways to provide access to families with a broad range of financial ability, and the Thomasville Education Fund increases our capacity to do so,” said Kerie Beth Scott, director of admissions. “We want to work with families who are looking at school choices that offer small class sizes, a strong academic program, college guidance and opportunities for arts and athletic participation.”
The first funds will be offered to students enrolling for the 2022-2023 school year. Funds will be awarded on an annual basis during the admissions process and are renewable each year as recipients continue to meet qualifications.
