We understand that the cost of independent school tuition is a significant, long-term investment. St. Anne’s is committed to making it affordable for families regardless of their economic circumstances. The tuition assistance program reflects our dedication to a community enriched by socioeconomic diversity with over 20% of our families participating in our program. Every family must submit an application for tuition assistance each year they are enrolled, following procedures and deadlines, and demonstrating continued eligibility to receive assistance.
St. Anne’s allocates over $1.7 million in funds to offset tuition costs and to provide special services to eligible children when necessary. Awards are based solely on a family’s ability to pay, and the school uses the information submitted in the application. Applications for tuition assistance are confidential, and they are considered on a case-by-case basis. Because of the school’s commitment to maintaining a broad socioeconomic population, families of varied financial situations may be considered for assistance.
Parents/caretakers will receive a link to the application in November 2024 when it becomes available. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Simply use the dropdown menu in the application to select those schools.
St. Anne’s requires you to upload additional tax documentation including a copy of your 2023 (2022, if possible) tax return, a copy of your 2024 W-2 form(s), and paystubs.
