St. Paul's School

Families concerned with affording the full cost of attending St. Paul’s School are strongly encouraged to apply. We will work with you to ensure that what can seem like a confusing and difficult process is actually a simple step-by-step endeavor.

• Families with an annual domestic household income up to $125,000 generally qualify for full financial aid towards tuition.
• Families with an annual domestic household income up to $250,000 generally pay less than 10% of their income toward tuition per year.
• Our financial aid packages meet full demonstrated need – no gaps between what we determine to be your need and our financial aid award.
• We use only grants to meet financial needs; there are no loans in our packages.

Applying for Financial Aid

Here's what you need to know to apply:

• Students seeking financial aid must apply at the time of application for admission.
• A student who enrolls without a financial aid package can be eligible to apply for aid in future years only if they have experienced a significant change in circumstances.
• Financial aid is not available for families with pre-existing needs that were not disclosed at the time of initial admission.
• St. Paul’s will notify you of your admission and financial aid award at the same time. All of the required financial aid application materials must be submitted by the appropriate deadlines. We cannot guarantee that a qualified applicant will receive financial aid if the deadlines are not met.
• If there are any special circumstances not addressed in your application that you would like us to consider, please send a letter addressed to Tim Caryl-Klika, Director of Enrollment Management and Financial Aid, with details.
