Affording SPS : Tuition and Finances
Financial Aid
As a prospective St. Paul’s School family, you are considering a unique high school education that undoubtedly requires a significant investment of resources. Since many families are not able to afford this experience without some level of assistance, we strive to be leaders in the field of secondary school financial aid by offering one of the most robust aid programs in the country.
 
St. Paul’s has a long history of providing financial aid to families and remains committed to helping low and middle-income families afford our School. To help meet this goal, as a general rule families of admitted students who have a household income of $80,000 or less qualify for full financial aid.* For families with a household income of more than $80,000, we offer generous need-based grants and scholarships to help bridge the gap between our costs and your ability to pay. There is no income cut-off for financial aid eligibility.
 
We strongly encourage all qualified applicants to consider St. Paul’s, regardless of whether they think they can afford the full cost of attending. If admitted, applicants can be confident that their financial need as determined by St. Paul’s aid office will be met. Please contact Tim Caryl-Klika, Director of Admission Operations and Financial Aid, at (603) 229-5639 or at tcarylklika@sps.edu if you have any questions.
 
St. Paul's School does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, ethnic origin, disability or sexual orientation, and complies with applicable laws for the protection of civil rights.
 
*In our evaluation of a family's need for financial aid we consider a family's entire financial situation, including all assets.
Payment Options
Tuition must be paid in full by July 31 or in two installments due July 31 and November 30.

A 10-month payment plan is available through Sallie Mae. There is a $55 fee, but no interest charges are associated with this service. However, there is a late fee for payments received after the due date. Tuition refund insurance is required for all families who do not pay in full by July 31.

For many families, a third-party educational loan may be necessary to meet the family contribution. Please see the National Association of Independent Schools Web site for information about lending institutions (click here). Their representatives can help families project educational financing needs over a child’s high school and college careers.
