FINANCIAL AID

Oakdale's program is available on a sliding fee scale to students who meet admissions requirements. Many families qualify for grants based on financial need. To apply for financial aid Oakdale must receive the following along with a completed admissions application (Click here to visit the application process):

Copy of most recent Federal 1040 income tax return(s) from each adult household member
Copy of most recent paycheck stub from each adult household member
Proof of any additional household income (i.e. Social Security, Disability, Adoption Subsidies)
Completed School Lunch Form

After your student is accepted to Oakdale and all of the above items are received, financial aid will be discussed with the business manager.

Scholarships

One of Oakdale’s goals is to help students learn to take responsibility for their choices. Student Effort Scholarships, Honor Code Scholarships, and Dorm Scholarships allow students to take responsibility for a portion of the billing amount.

Payment Options

Full Payment

Tuition, Room and Board due on or before registration.

Semester Payment

First semester amount must be paid on or before registration.

Monthly Payments

Balance is divided over ten monthly payments. All monthly payments are due by the 20th of each month. Final payment is due before May 20th of the current academic year.

Withdrawals & Expulsion Student Financial Policy

Students who withdraw or are expelled before the end of the first/third quarter will be responsible for 2.5 months of tuition, room & board (1/2 of a semester) as agreed upon in the billing agreement.

Students who withdraw or are expelled anytime after the end of the first/third quarter will be responsible for the full tuition, room & board for the entire semester as agreed upon in the billing agreement.

This policy exists because the hiring of teachers and staff and the ordering of textbooks and other classroom materials are based upon anticipated enrollment. Parents will be expected to honor their commitment to the school. Requests for exceptions must be addressed to the Business Office, in writing, and will only be considered in extreme circumstances such as death of a parent, loss of employment or other extenuating circumstances.
