Financial Access at Curtis School
Curtis School is committed to providing opportunities for qualified students to enroll without regard to their family's financial circumstances. Our Financial Access Program is designed to bridge the gap between what a family can afford and the actual cost of attendance. Every effort is made to meet students' demonstrated need for tuition assistance throughout their years at Curtis.
Families who feel they may need financial assistance are encouraged to apply. Decisions regarding tuition assistance are made independently of admissions decisions, and financial need does not adversely affect a student's chances of gaining admission to Curtis School.
For the 2023-2024 academic year, the average tuition assistance award was $27,300. Awards are determined based on demonstrated financial need. Some families may need only a small amount, and other families may need almost all of tuition covered.
Families who plan to apply for tuition assistance do not need to pay the $150 admissions application fee. While completing your admissions application in CougarNet, please check "yes" on the Financial Access section and the fee will be waived automatically. We will be in touch later in our admissions process with additional information about the Financial Access Program requirements and deadlines.
