Tuition & Financial Aid
Because Urban is committed to providing an affordable quality education to those children who need it the most, financial aid is differentiated, just like the curriculum. Administrators use information obtained through an income verification process to determine the financial aid award. Each family's circumstances are taken into consideration when making financial aid decisions.
An important piece of this process is for parents of students in Kindergarten through 8th grade to apply for the Cleveland Scholarship Program (CSP) voucher. The CSP voucher application opens on February 1 for the upcoming school year and is an important part of the admission process. Voucher applications include valid proof of residence in the city of Cleveland.
Children in the early childhood program may also receive scholarship support through the Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) program. Eligibility is based on proof of residence and household financial documentation.
