Tuition Assistance

No, all Tuition Assistance awards are need-based.

Because financial situations may change, all families who receive tuition assistance are required to re-apply annually.  If circumstances remain constant, families are generally awarded comparable grants from year to year.     

Eligibility for admission is determined without consideration of financial need. However, given our finite Tuition Assistance budget, we must be “need-aware.” Once a student has been admitted by the Admissions Committee, the family’s Tuition Assistance application is reviewed by the Tuition Assistance Committee and the amount of the award, if any, is determined so that the family can be fully informed of their award at the same time that they are notified of admission.

Unfortunately, even with a significant budget to allocate to deserving students, it is not always possible to grant aid to every student who is accepted by the Admissions Committee and also qualifies for Tuition Assistance. We maintain a waitlist for those students who qualify for admission and tuition assistance, but who are not awarded assistance in the initial allocation of budgeted funds. Eligible families in our wait pool will be notified by Far Brook should any additional assistance become available.
