Tailored Tuition is the way Atlanta Girls’ School ensures access and affordability to an array of qualified students. Every family’s financial picture is unique—Tailored Tuition is designed with that in mind.
What is Tailored Tuition?
Tailored Tuition is AGS’s affordability program. Based on each applicant family’s circumstances, a tuition discount of up to 75 percent of the total cost of tuition may be given. As there is a high demand for Tailored Tuition discounting, this program is only available to students applying during AGS’s regular admissions season (April 1 decision date).
