What will the effect of the COVID-19 crisis be on independent school tuition and financial aid? Mark Mitchell from NAIS helps us with some historical context.

After the 2008 financial crisis according to NAIS's DASL data:

  • FA applications went up 16.7%
  • Students receiving aid went up 17.8%
  • Total FA spending per student went up 21%

In this conversation Mark advises us that although we can't predict the future we can start asking the right questions to help our schools prepare today.
