To be considered for academic scholarships, students must meet the minimum score requirement (80th percentile or above) and complete an Academic Scholarship application through the Parent Portal.

Students are emailed their results on average between 3-4 weeks after taking the entrance exam.
Do you offer accommodations for students during the Entrance Exam?
Yes - students with documented accommodation plans will receive the testing accommodations outlined in their plans. Beaumont is offering extended time at the Entrance Exam on November 18, for students with a documented need for additional time when testing. Register for that exam date here.

Tuition and Financial Aid & Scholarships
How much is tuition? Does it increase each year?

How do I apply for tuition assistance?

Tuition assistance packages are awarded from a number of generous donor scholarship funds.
The FACTS application has a $35 fee due at the time of submission. The priority deadline for early tuition assistance decisions is November 15. All applications completed after this date are reviewed on a rolling basis. Visit the Beaumont FACTS application to apply.

Can my daughter earn college credit while attending Beaumont?
Beaumont offers a college-preparatory curriculum that includes advanced courses in International Baccalaureate (IB), Advanced Placement (AP), and Honors. Depending on one’s final exam score and the selected college, IB and AP courses can qualify for college credit, particularly upon completion of the IB Diploma. Awarding credit is at the discretion of the college/university your daughter attends.
In addition to possible credit, a Beaumont education adds significant value when students embark on higher education upon graduation. Beaumont’s Class of 2023 earned over $12.1 million in merit scholarships to attend college/university, including 5 full-tuition scholarships. 84% of Beaumont’s alumnae graduate from college/university in four years, beating the national average of 41%, because they are prepared to succeed as collegians.
When the potential cost of higher education is less, combined with a greater likelihood of graduating in four years and a jump start on college credit, a Beaumont education is a compelling investment in your daughter’s future.
