UNIVERSITY SCHOOL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

University School believes that the ideal educational environment should be as fully representative as possible of the community we serve. To enable the school to be enriched by the presence of boys of special ability but modest means, the school maintains a considerable financial aid program supported by special endowments and other income. It is important to note that University School does not offer any scholarships for specific abilities or talents, but rather need-based financial aid only.

Beginning at Grade 5, financial aid is awarded by committee to applicants whose qualifications seem strongest. Stipend amounts are determined annually by both family need and specific funds available to the school. No students receive full financial aid; while the school's commitment to financial aid is considerable, each family enrolled is expected to share that commitment.

In all cases, applicants for financial aid are expected to file a formal application well in advance of admission or reenrollment, providing detailed financial information on forms available at the Hunting Valley or Shaker Campus Admission Offices. Need is tabulated by the School Scholarship Service in Princeton, New Jersey, and confirmed or modified by required current IRS returns, along with other financial information that families may feel is important.

This program enabled around 150 outstanding boys to attend University School last year. The school recommends that families limited in financial means, but appreciative of the school's potential to make a significant difference in their son's development, take advantage of the opportunity provided by the financial aid program. More detailed information is available at the Admission Offices.
