Transportation fees may be applied for students requiring travel to/from airport.

*Book fees are estimated. Books are ordered through Sem’s virtual bookstore partner, MBS Direct. Each student's course selection will determine actual costs.

**Wyoming Seminary requires all non-U.S. residents to subscribe to a U.S.-based, private health insurance plan. No national health insurance or private health insurance based outside the United States will qualify. Wyoming Seminary automatically enrolls international students upon arrival, pays the premium on the student’s behalf and charges the student’s account this medical insurance fee. Wyoming Seminary reserves the right to increase fees to cover premium costs as necessary.

Investing in a Sem Education

The Board of Trustees of Wyoming Seminary endeavors to keep tuition affordable for the greatest number of families. Through annual endowment and gift income, Wyoming Seminary underwrites approximately 30% of the cost of educating each of its approximately 800 students. In this way, every student benefits from these significant tuition reductions.

In addition, substantial Wyoming Seminary resources are committed to financial aid for those families who require additional tuition reduction. Families from a broad spectrum of socio-economic circumstances are able to consider quality education with financial assistance. To qualify, students must give evidence of proven or potential contributions to the school community along with strong academic performance, and their parents must demonstrate the need for tuition reduction through the Wyoming Seminary financial aid process.

In the current school year, 37% of the student body received some degree of need-based aid. This past year, the average award for day students was $7,996 and $22,357 for boarding students.

Why Apply for Aid?

Wyoming Seminary awarded over $5.1 million in need-based financial aid in current year. Last year, hundreds of families worked with us to make their children’s dreams come true. The income range of families receiving financial aid extends from those with little taxable income to families in the top tax bracket. We look at each family individually in order to determine eligibility for tuition assistance.

Using financial aid to help with the cost of Wyoming Seminary allows families to access the full support of Sem’s College Guidance Office, which can be very helpful in the pursuit of college merit and need-based scholarships.

Wyoming Seminary awards financial aid to students without regard to race, gender, religion, national origin, sexual orientation or disability.
