More than one-quarter of the student body receives financial assistance through need-based grants and special scholarships. Grant and scholarship awards are not loans and do not have to be paid back. In 2012-13, we allocated over $3 million in financial assistance to families with annual household incomes ranging from $8,400 to $168,000. Award grants ranged from $2,270 to $24,650 and averaged $15,730.

Need-based financial aid grants

We encourage families to apply for admission to Catlin Gabel regardless of financial circumstances. Although families bear the primary responsibility for financing their child's education to the extent that they are able, need-based grants are available to help bridge the gap between the family’s resources and the child’s total educational expenses. Financial assistance is available to offset the cost of tuition, as well as books, laptops, school trips, bus service, and activities. Please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page for more information.
