Elementary Financial Aid
We are happy to be able to offer a limited amount of assistance to those in need. Financial aid award decisions are based on demonstrated financial need, eligibility, student's academic standing, and completion of parent volunteer hours.
Funds for this program are raised through our Annual Fund, grant funding and various fundraising events, which vary from year to year. The financial aid application window is open between October 1 - December 15 each year. Financial aid awardees will be notified by January 6.
Please note that in order to be considered for assistance, a Roots School application and non-refundable fee of $100 must be received by our office@rootsmaui.org
