Applications are processed by a third party financial analysis service. They will recommend what a family should reasonably contribute toward tuition. The school’s committee uses this information as a starting point with additional considerations including the total budget and the needs of the entire applicant pool.
The Financial Aid Committee is mindful of its obligation to utilize the limited financial aid funds responsibly and prudently; therefore, it is imperative that recipients fully merit their grants by a conscientious effort to complete every aspect of the financial aid process.
Any financial support that may be available beyond the parents’ own income and assets should be reported on the form for consideration by the school.
It is expected that families requesting the school’s assistance will contribute as much as they can to their children’s education and will, therefore, give great consideration in completing that question on the application.
Note for Late Applications: Missed deadlines will not disqualify a family. We encourage current and new families to proceed with the application process at their earliest convenience; however, resources cannot be guaranteed, and amounts awarded later may be reduced.
*Financial Aid decisions are made independently from admissions decisions and in no way affect a candidate’s chances for admissions. The Financial Aid Program is open to students of any race, creed, and national or ethnic origin.
