Private schools with the most financial aid

Ranking schools with the most students receiving tuition help

Below is a quick list of private schools with the most financial aid, based on the percentage of students receiving assistance. This can be a helpful tool in determining whether the school might have aid available for your family. The availability of financial aid may be important for you but, ideally, it should not be the determining factor in your school choice. That said, we recognize that private school is expensive and "every little bit helps," so we hope you find this helpful.

Across our site there are many other resources that will offer you much more information concerning financial aid. These include our overview of financial aid and scholarships, our comprehensive look at private school scholarships, our full list of scholarships and awards from schools and other organizations and more. Exhaustively researching all of your financial aid options using those tools is still only a small part of the school choice process.

Our advice guide is the starting point for in-depth guidance into the many factors you need to consider. We strive to fully prepare parents, beginning with articles on different types of schools, what to consider when choosing a school and much more. Be sure to take into consideration the school's academics, course pedagogies, extracurriculars, class sizes, school facilities, the social environment, and much more.
