What is Access IWA?
Access IWA is an individualized family tuition program that reflects the overall mission and vision of Incarnate Word Academy. We believe that diversity of all kinds, including economic diversity, enriches the education we provide for all of our students. IWA seeks accessibility for all families.
We expect each family to contribute financially to their daughter’s education. Many families pay the full cost of tuition, but we also realize that investing in an Incarnate Word Academy education is a stretch for many families.
Through Access IWA, families can apply for reduced tuition based on their specific financial picture.
Thoughtful. Confidential. Individualized.
Access IWA looks at your family’s complete financial picture to help determine a tuition amount that is sustainable for both your family and the school.
How It Works
The Access IWA Process
The process is designed to help families understand their expected educational investment before making their high school decision.

Complete the FACTS Assessment and upload the requested supporting documents. Income, assets, expenses, family size, unusual expenses, and other factors are considered as part of the eligibility analysis.
03
Receive Your Tuition Range
Once your complete FACTS Assessment is received, IWA carefully reviews your information. Based on calculated need, transcripts, and test scores, your family can receive an expected high-to-low range of tuition before making your high school decision.
