As part of that commitment, the school has established a need-based financial aid program. Financial aid funds are generated from the school’s operating budget, Annual Giving and other fund-raising activities. Financial aid awards can provide up to 50% of the total tuition through a combination of scholarship and work credits with parents paying at least 50% of the tuition.
Financial aid is based solely on financial need. To determine the fairest and most equitable family contribution, the School uses School and Student Services for Financial Aid (S.S.S.) based in Princeton, New Jersey.
