Affording St. George’s

A St. George’s education is a significant investment in a student’s growth from adolescence to young adulthood. Our goal is to help make this education available to all those with the credentials and the desire to take advantage of the opportunity to attend.

Financial Aid

Financial Aid at St. George's is awarded in the form of a grant to meet our families demonstrated need. Thirty-two percent of our students receive affordability grants, and we will continue to bridge the gap for as many families as possible. This year we distributed $6 million in need-based grants to 116 students. The average boarding grant was $58,000.

St. George’s partners with Clarity to determine a family’s level of financial need. We are committed to socioeconomic diversity and take a thoughtful, attentive approach to each family’s financial circumstances. For a comprehensive overview of the financial aid process, visit Apply for Financial Aid.

St. George's will offer a space only to those students we can financially assist. If we are unable to offer financial assistance to an admissible student, that student will be placed on the waiting list until funds and a space become available.

What is the financial aid process for returning families:

Our first priority each year is to assist the returning families that are currently receiving financial assistance from St. George’s. After assisting our returning students, we make financial aid offers to newly admitted families. Once we complete enrollment of our new class, we look at the financial situations of returning families who are requesting financial aid for the first time. The only families that will be considered at this stage are those that demonstrate a significant change in circumstances from the first time they applied.
