So much of parenting is an investment. As perhaps the most significant financial investment outside of one’s home, we understand the commitment families make when investing in their children’s education and long-term future. Selwyn School dedicates extensive time, research, and institutional resources to ensure that the value of a Selwyn education provides students with measurable advantages in college preparation and lifelong success. Despite this value, we recognize that the cost of an independent school education can be a challenge for some families. It remains Selwyn School’s priority to make a Selwyn education accessible to as many qualified students as possible.
Like most independent schools, tuition and fees cover only a portion of the total cost required to educate each student. Selwyn School’s Annual Fund and additional institutional support efforts help bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the full cost of educational programs, faculty, facilities, and student services. In order to receive financial aid, students must meet all Selwyn School admissions requirements and eligibility criteria.
Selwyn School uses the FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment system to evaluate the financial needs of applicant families. Financial aid eligibility is reassessed annually and requires reapplication with updated financial documentation, including income statements, tax filings, and expense information. All financial information submitted through FACTS remains strictly confidential and is used solely to determine financial aid eligibility and award levels. International students are not eligible for financial aid from Selwyn School.
Every financial aid application submitted by qualified students is reviewed fairly and evaluated based on demonstrated financial need. Families interested in financial aid must complete the application process through the FACTS Grants and Aid platform.
To apply for financial aid
- If you have an existing FACTS account, log in to your account.
- If you do not already have a FACTS account, you may create one here.
- Once logged in, you will be required to submit financial documentation, including tax filings, income verification, and expense details. After submission, Selwyn School will review your application and follow up as needed.
- Families are encouraged to include a short letter explaining any unique financial circumstances that may assist in evaluating the application.
- FACTS applications are not considered complete until all required information and tax documentation have been submitted through the system. It may take up to 14 days for submitted applications to be marked as complete and ready for review.
