The goal of the Financial Aid Program is to allow access to those who may not be able to afford The Frederick Gunn School. We understand and appreciate the financial commitment families undertake in deciding to send their children to FGS. We also expect that each family will make the funding of their child’s education a priority. Last year, we awarded more than $5 million of financial aid with an average award of approximately $35,000.
The Frederick Gunn School’s policy is to make admissions decisions separate from financial aid decisions. At times, FGS is not able to aid all qualified applicants, and, unfortunately, some may be placed on a waitlist. The majority of financial aid at FGS is need based; need is determined by School and Student Services (SSS) and by The Frederick Gunn School’s Financial Aid Committee. While we do have a generous financial aid budget, we cannot guarantee funding to everyone who qualifies.
In addition to tuition, there are fees for technology, health services, tuition refund insurance, and a dorm deposit, among other things. Students must also cover the cost of books and clothes appropriate to our dress code. Discounted book costs are often available and based on the amount of need-based financial aid received by the student. For more specific fee information, please contact the Business Office and ask for a fee schedule.
