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 uses School and Student Services (SSS) for its financial aid screening process. The Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS), completed via the SSS portal, is used by thousands of K-12 schools and other organizations across the country to help assess a family’s ability to pay school costs.
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.
New families applying for school financial aid must complete the online application on or before January 31st of the preceding school year; prior year tax returns must be included. Aid applications will only be reviewed when all required documentation, including tax returns, has been submitted.
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 Process
• Complete a Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) application online here (non-refundable cost of $60). The International School of Los Angeles SSS school code is 3920.
• For line-by-line instructions on transferring information from your tax documents to the application, please review this handy guide.
• Once you finish the online application, you will be asked to scan and upload documents to complete the process. Please upload tax forms directly to the online application; they cannot be accepted by the School. For uploading instructions, please click here.
For additional safety, be sure to black out all social security numbers before scanning and uploading documents.
• Once the documents are uploaded, please email financialaid@lilaschool.com to inform the completion of the application.
• If you have questions regarding completing the online application, please call the SSS customer service team at (800) 344-8328.
• Once your application is verified by the SSS, the application is reviewed by the Financial Aid Team for aid consideration.
• Families of first-time applicants are also asked for a Zoom meeting with the team during the review process.
• New families will be notified of the results with their admissions offer letter (early March)
To be eligible for financial aid consideration, families must be current on all financial obligations to the School. 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.
