Financial Aid
The Island School is committed to attracting and retaining an economically diverse student body. In order to support this diversity, we have established a financial aid program for families who may need some financial assistance in order to afford tuition.
We recognize independent school education is a choice for families, and some families make significant financial sacrifices to support this choice. We strongly encourage families who simply cannot cover the full cost of tuition, even after the most careful household budgeting, to consider applying for financial aid.
Financial Aid facts:
- To determine the most fair and equitable estimate of a family’s need, financial aid applications are processed by School and Student Services (SSS), which provides an independent assessment of financial need.
- The Island School Financial Aid Committee utilizes the SSS determinations, along with information gathered from the applicant, to determine a family’s eligibility.
- Financial aid decisions are made based on a family’s eligibility and the availability of financial aid funds.
- All financial and personal information provided to The Island School is reviewed only by the Financial Aid Committee and is completely confidential.
- The deadline for submitting financial aid applications has been extended to February 16, 2023. After this date, you may contact us to ask about any remaining financial aid for the upcoming school year.
- To begin your application for financial aid, download our Financial Aid Application Info Sheet.
