FINANCIAL AID
Financial Aid Philosophy
Parker School's financial aid philosophy is to make the cost of a Parker School education affordable for as many families as possible, with the limited supply of funds it has available each year for financial aid. Once awarded financial aid, families must reapply annually, however, unless there are drastic changes in a family's financial situation, families can count on consistent aid awards year after year.
Applying for Financial Aid
Parker School utilizes TADS (Tuition Aid Data Services) for administering financial aid. TADS provides a framework through which household need can be measured fairly and equitably. Recommendations from TADS are used by the Parker School financial aid committee in accordance with its policies to determine the award amount. Final award notices are then provided to families by Parker School.
