Tuition Payments
GISW collects tuition payments using Blackbaud’s Tuition Management System. Once a contract has been received and uploaded to Tuition Management, an email from billing@giswashington.org will be sent to you to register for your tuition payments to GISW. Please check your spam/junk folder for the email if you do not see it in your inbox.
Financial Aid
GISW offers need-based financial aid to families who cannot afford full tuition. Tuition Assistance (Financial Aid) is granted to families who demonstrate financial need, which is defined as the difference between the family’s resources and the child’s educational expenses.
