Admission> Financial Aid>


Twenty-five to thirty percent of families at Friends Select School receive some form of financial aid. Financial aid grants are awarded on the basis of a family's demonstrated need and are employed using objective standards established by the School and Student Services by NAIS . The Friends Select School Financial Aid Committee uses this information to determine grants based on the committee's own guidelines and priorities.

 
Priorities for Aid:
 1. Families who are members of the Religious Society of Friends.
 2. Friends Select School families applying for renewed financial aid.
 3. Friends Select School families who are first-time applicants for aid.
 4.

Families who are new to Friends Select School.


As a matter of policy, the school's Financial Aid Committee does not provide grants for children entering pre-kindergarten.



Financial Aid Application Process
We encourage families to apply for financial aid online starting November 1, 2010.
 
Families applying for aid using traditional hard copy must complete the Parents' Financial Statement (PFS), available from the Admission Office in mid-November 2010, and mail it to:
