Students who demonstrate financial need may receive a scholarship to cover a portion of the student budget. Because funds are limited, scholarships are awarded to the top admissions candidates with demonstrated financial need.

In addition to School scholarships, there are several special scholarship awards. These scholarships range in amount and are awarded on the basis of need, scholarship, professional promise, and other criteria specified by the donors. Students are automatically considered for all scholarships by completing the School’s Financial Aid Application (all applicants), and the on-line FAFSA (U.S. citizens and permanent residents only) by February 15th.
