Flexible Tuition. More Opportunity.

Flexible payment plans

Four proposed payment structures so families can choose what works. Plans spread the cost of tuition — they don't reduce it unless an approved discount or scholarship applies.

A

Annual Payment

Pay the full annual tuition in one installment.

  • Single payment covers the full academic year
  • Optional early-payment discount only if approved by management
  • Payment due date shown in the enrollment agreement
B

10-Month Payment Plan

Spread annual tuition across 10 monthly payments.

  • Exact payment dates displayed in the enrollment agreement
  • Automatic payment enrollment option
  • Installments span the academic year
C

12-Month Payment Plan

Spread annual tuition across 12 monthly payments.

  • First and last payment dates clearly shown
  • Installments may begin before the academic year starts
  • Smaller monthly payments spread over a full year
D

Scholarship-Assisted Plan

Apply confirmed eligible scholarship funding to approved tuition charges.

  • Confirmed scholarship funding applied to eligible tuition
  • Remaining family balance calculated
  • 10- or 12-month installment plan available where applicable

Before you commit

Transportation, meals, uniforms, and equipment costs if applicable

A payment plan does not change the total annual tuition unless an approved discount applies. DSG Academy does not impose or advertise fees that have not been approved.

Florida Scholarships

Florida scholarships could make DSG more affordable

Three Florida K–12 scholarship programs may help eligible families cover approved educational expenses. Each program has its own rules — not every student qualifies for every scholarship.

DSG Academy is pursuing eligibility to participate in Florida's K–12 scholarship programs. State scholarship funds cannot be accepted by DSG Academy unless the school meets applicable participation requirements and receives the necessary approval.

Estimated Tuition After Scholarships

An illustrative $8,000 scholarship scenario

See how a hypothetical $8,000 annual scholarship could reduce the family balance. This is a planning estimate, not an actual award.

ProgramAnnual TuitionBalance After $8,00010-Month Plan12-Month Plan
Academic Academy$12,500$4,500$450$375.00
Basketball + School$17,500$9,500$950$791.67
Baseball + School$18,500$10,500$1,050$875.00
Dual-Sport + School$21,500$13,500$1,350$1,125.00

The $8,000 example below is a hypothetical planning estimate, not an actual award. Actual Florida scholarship amounts must be obtained from current official state and scholarship administrator resources.

This table is an illustrative affordability scenario only. Actual balances depend on confirmed awards, eligible tuition components, school approval, institutional aid, and applicable fees. After-school-only athletics are not included unless eligibility has been verified.

Family & Early Enrollment Incentives

Making DSG more accessible

Proposed incentives to reward founding families and multi-student households.

Sibling Tuition Discount

  • First student: Standard tuition
  • Second student: 5% off eligible tuition
  • Third or additional student: 10% off eligible tuition

Founding Class of 2027 Incentive

  • A proposed $500 tuition credit for qualifying founding-class students
  • Subject to management approval and published terms

Annual Payment Incentive

  • A proposed 3% discount for families who pay eligible tuition in full by the designated deadline

Discounts should not automatically stack. Publish a written policy defining eligibility, exclusions, and whether discounts may be combined with scholarship funding.

Financial Assistance Opportunities

Multiple paths to affordability

DSG Academy intends to explore multiple affordability options for qualifying families.

Florida State Scholarships

Eligible families may apply through official Florida scholarship programs, subject to DSG participation approval and applicable funding rules.

Need-Based DSG Assistance

Proposed awards of $1,000–$5,000 annually, subject to available funding and approved eligibility criteria.

Founding Student-Athlete Awards

Proposed partial tuition awards supported by academy resources or designated sponsorships.

Corporate-Sponsored Scholarships

Businesses and community partners may support approved student assistance programs.

Institutional assistance is not guaranteed, and no awards should be advertised as funded until resources are secured.

How to Qualify

School admission & scholarship eligibility are separate

Qualifying for DSG Academy admission is different from qualifying for a Florida scholarship or DSG financial aid. Here's how each works.

A

DSG Academy Admission

  • Student grade eligibility
  • Completed application
  • Parent or guardian information
  • Academic records
  • Previous school information
  • Student interview, if required
  • Athletic evaluation for sports program placement, if required
  • Enrollment agreement
  • Required health and safety documentation
  • Tuition or funding arrangements

Admission criteria and grades served will be finalized before applications officially open. DSG Academy does not publish a minimum GPA, athletic ability threshold, entrance examination, or grade range until confirmed.

B

Florida Scholarships

  • Florida residency
  • Applicable student age or grade requirements
  • Scholarship program-specific eligibility
  • Parent or guardian application
  • Required supporting documents
  • Award approval
  • Enrollment at an eligible participating school
  • Applicable payment authorization

Family income may affect funding priority but is not necessarily an eligibility barrier for the standard Florida private-school scholarship programs. FES-UA has additional qualifying requirements.

C

DSG Financial Aid

Need-based institutional assistance, subject to available funding. Financial information is collected only through secure, access-controlled forms.

  • Application deadlines
  • Required documentation
  • Award review
  • Funding availability
  • Renewal requirements
  • Appeal or reconsideration procedures

Families may request need-based assistance, subject to available funding. Financial information is collected only through secure, access-controlled forms. DSG Academy does not promise awards or publish unapproved scholarship criteria.
