Financial Aid
26% of the International School of Los Angeles’s student body typically receive some degree of financial aid, from France and/or directly from our school.
School-funded financial assistance is available for both returning and new families. The application for this need-based financial aid opens on October 1 each year.
French nationals studying at our school have the opportunity to apply annually for need-based scholarships (bourse scolaire) directly from the French government. This external financial assistance helps our school maintain a diverse socioeconomic atmosphere and allows for a reasonable overall fee scale compared to other local private schools and French schools around the country.

Applying for Financial Aid
The Financial Aid team has partnered with Clarity to manage the financial aid screening process and assess each family’s level of financial need based on the information provided in their application.
Families are eligible for financial aid consideration starting in their first year at the School. All families— new and currently enrolled (i.e. re-enrolling)—must complete an annual application in order to be considered for financial assistance.
Deadlines:
- New Families – January 31st of the preceding school year
- Returning Families – October 31st of the preceding school year
For families with multiple households:
- For families in which parents are remarried, the income of all members of all households is taken into account.
- In the event of separation or divorce, both parents will be required to fill out separate applications.
Financial Aid Application Process:
- To get started, please create an account with Clarity (non-refundable cost of $65). The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. It is mobile-friendly and you can save your progress and return at any time.
- At the end of the application, you will follow the steps to authorize the IRS to share a transcript of your W2(s) and personal tax return. For a more detailed overview, please refer to “Application Help & Parent Resources” in the righthand column
- Your 1040 and W2 documents from prior year will be automatically transferred from the IRS when you complete the verification step through the Clarity application. These documents no longer need to be uploaded manually.
- Please remember to return to your dashboard after you complete and submit your Clarity Application, as LILA requires you to upload additional tax documentation if you have a business.
- If you need support during the process of completing your application;
- In-app support available through the “Help” button in the bottom left of the screen
- Email and phone support at support@clarityapp.com
- Phone support at 206-210-3752 (Monday to Friday, 8 am to 8 pm ET)
- Families of first-time applicants are also asked for a Zoom meeting with the team during the review process
To be eligible for financial aid consideration, families must be current on all financial obligations to the School. Please note that, for returning families, a student’s academic achievement and discipline record may also affect a family’s eligibility for financial aid. Typical financial aid awards range from 10%- 50% of tuition and fees, with some awards being lower and some being higher.
The International School of Los Angeles reserves the right to request additional documents or information related to financial aid applications. All applications are considered in strict confidence.
If, at any time, families have questions about the financial aid process, they are invited to email us at financialaid@lilaschool.com.
