tuition, Fees, & Financial aid
Understanding that an International School of Indiana education is a significant investment in a student's future, ISI is committed to supporting families from a wide range of financial circumstances. Our financial aid program makes it possible to admit students from many socioeconomic backgrounds, and we believe this diversity is essential to providing an enriching educational environment for ISI students.
Understanding Tuition and Fees
The cost of educating an ISI student exceeds our tuition amount by several thousand dollars. We supplement the difference for all families by relying on philanthropic support, including individual and corporate donors. ISI also participates in the Indiana Choice Scholarship Program, known widely as the "Voucher" program. For qualifying ISI families, vouchers can reduce the cost of tuition by approximately $6,000 to $7,300 per student per school year.

ISI makes every effort to be as transparent as possible about the costs associated with an ISI education. Tuition & Fee Schedules are posted no later than January for the next school year, and families can also access a breakdown of additional costs, including fee-based programs like child care, enrichment, athletics, and exchange trips.
Financial Aid
We encourage the families of all applicants to carefully review tuition and fees and to evaluate their own ability to pay school costs for the coming year and in future years. If parents/guardians think they will need assistance with ISI tuition, they must apply at the time of admission. If the request for assistance is not made with a student's initial application for admission, consideration for financial aid will only be granted at a later date, including subsequent years, if the need is due to a significant, unexpected change in circumstances, for example, a job loss.
Eligibility for financial aid is based on a family's demonstrated need - as determined by important factors such as family income, assets, family size, and tuition obligations for other dependent children. In order to determine the financial need of a family, ISI utilizes recommendations from Clarity, and requires financial documentation such as federal tax returns to be submitted annually.
Additionally, when determining the award amount the committee also takes into account other non-financial considerations such as academic ability, diversity, community contribution, and demand for grade level and language track. Awards for grade levels and language tracks in high demand will be smaller. Applicants may also appeal a financial aid award by emailing isifinancialaid@isind.org and explaining the reasons for their appeal.

High School Tuition Lock
The High School Tuition Lock program locks in tuition rates for all new and continuing High School students, at the time of enrollment for each subsequent term, provided families meet the criteria and enroll in the program. As rising costs for a broad range of goods and services weigh on families, ISI hopes fixed tuition costs for the duration of high school will eliminate uncertainty and provide peace of mind for families, and demonstrate the school’s dedication to preparing Upper School students and their families for college.
