Understanding that a Choate Rosemary Hall education is a significant investment in a student's future, Choate is committed to building a community of talented, passionate, and driven students from a wide range of backgrounds independent of their financial circumstances.
By offering a robust financial aid program, Choate is able to enroll the best possible students regardless of a family's resources.
For the current school year, 33% of students at Choate received need-based financial aid; the average award offset 79% of tuition.
We encourage any family who may need assistance to apply for financial aid. Choate’s financial aid budget for the school year was $12.9 million, with awards to families ranging from $1,000 to full tuition.
Non-Refundable Deposit — All families are required to pay 10% of tuition by April 10.
One Payment — This plan is for families who would like to make one payment for all yearly tuition and fees on or before July 15. Families utilizing this option will receive a 1% discount on net tuition and fees less the non-refundable deposit.
Two Payments — This plan requires families to pay 50% of tuition and fees by July 16th and the remaining balance of tuition and fees by November 16.
Monthly Payments — Choate offers a nine-month payment plan administered by Higher One. This is a budget plan that divides the total yearly tuition and fees (less the 10% deposit) into nine equal monthly installments paid by direct debit beginning in July and ending in March. There is a small enrollment fee and no interest charges for this plan.
Books and Academic Supplies— Families should budget $1,000 for books, supplies and incidental charges annually.
Health Insurance— Choate requires that all students carry health insurance.
All Choate families are automatically enrolled in The Tuition Refund Plan developed by A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. The Tuition Refund Plan will pay benefits (subject to its terms, conditions and limitations) to the family of a student who, for various reasons, is unable to continue attending the school.
Choate uses the Parents' Financial Statement (PFS), along with a family's tax returns to determine a fair and equitable grant for every family.
Choate meets 100% of a family’s demonstrated financial need based on the total cost of attendance including tuition, fees, travel, books, and other supplies. Students with exceptionally high levels of demonstrated need receive additional financial assistance with the cost of books, travel, supplies, and other needs.
