2025-2026 Financial Aid Information

Financial Aid applications for the 2025-2026 school year opens on Wednesday, October 23.

The financial aid process at Wheaton Academy is officially open for the 2025-2026 school year. The application timeline is changing this year—the financial aid application deadline for returning families is now Friday, December 6, 2024. It is our hope that this adjusted timeline will help both families and Wheaton Academy financially plan for the 2025-2026 year.

How to start your Financial Aid Application through Blackbaud Financial Aid

We have created custom instructions for your family to understand the next steps. 

  • All families who will need to apply for aid will be required to complete a financial aid application through Blackbaud Financial Aid.
  • Like previous years, we have partnered with the financial aid processing company—Blackbaud Financial Aid.

For more information about this process, please click the option that applies to your family’s current (2024-2025) financial aid award category:

I have not previously received aid from Wheaton Academy

Deadline for Returning Families’ Financial Aid Applications: December 6

What happens next? 

  • The Financial Aid Committee then hopes to distribute financial aid decisions to returning families with verified aid applications starting as early as mid-December and continuing through January.
  • This timeline allows Wheaton Academy to grant aid awards to returning families before new family aid awards are considered, as over 80% of our financial aid awards are historically distributed by February.
  • The timing of your family’s aid decision will depend on your family’s completed application date and the application processing time through our partnering organization, Blackbaud Financial Aid Management.
