FACTS / Financial Assistance Application

Last year, SHDHS was able to grant nearly 85% of the need for families who qualified for financial aid. In every case, this enabled families to keep their children enrolled here at SHDHS. Families can apply for financial aid beginning on January 3rd. Click here to access the online FACTS application, or call 859.525.0255 to request a copy from the front office. All applications are reviewed and processed by FACTS, a third-party financial aid firm. Note that FACTS will only evaluate families with students registered to attend SHDHS the following fall. FACTS reviews the applications and ranks applicants according to need. SHDHS then awards financial aid based on available funds.

The FACTS Financial Aid application will open on January 4, 2023. Applicants can use 2021 Tax returns and 2022 W-2s. Applications are accepted throughout the school year, but the first awards deadline is April 1, 2023, and award notifications will be made on April 30, 2023. Applications must be completed and verified by April 1 to be considered for the first round of awards. Please click here to apply. For questions, contact Connie Cornett at [email protected]. 

Families have three tuition payment options; monthly, quarterly, or pre-paid.

• Monthly tuition is the total amount (tuition + fees) divided by twelve (tuition is collected in the months from July through June).
• Quarterly tuition is the total amount (tuition + fees) divided by four.
• Pre-Paid tuition is the total amount (tuition + fees) minus a $100 discount. Payment must be received by July 31 to qualify for a discount.

The online application deadline for 2023-2024 SHDHS scholarships has been extended.

Students can visit https://apps.shdhs.org/admissions/scholarship-application-form to begin the online application process. The deadline for scholarship application submissions has been extended to Friday, March 31, 2023.

Please note that most of our endowed scholarship recipients are selected by the benefactors of each scholarship annually. The recipient of each endowed scholarship will be notified when the respective scholarship’s benefactor’s decision is made. All endowed scholarship applications are “blinded” (i.e., applicant names are removed) before they are submitted for review.

Merit-Based Scholarships

Merit-based scholarships are offered solely based on a student’s academic achievement. It is important to note that the KHSAA mandates that any student participating in a sport cannot receive more than 25% of his/her tuition in the form of a merit-based scholarship. Thanks to the generosity of our benefactors, SHDHS is able to offer several merit-based scholarships to incoming freshmen.

Highest Male Placement Test Score

• The Stan Robinson Memorial Scholarship is given to the male student with the highest score on SHDHS’ 8th Grade Placement Test.

Highest Female Placement Test Score

• The Susan Wolff Memorial Scholarship is given to the female student with the highest score on SHDHS’ 8th Grade Placement Test.

Top 10% in Placement Test Scores

In addition to the top male and top female HSPT scorers, all other students scoring in the top 10% on SHDHS’ 8th Grade Placement Test are eligible to receive a scholarship from the Dr. Edward P. Smith and Mary Klein Smith Scholarship Fund.
