Walnut Hill School for the Arts is committed to attracting a socio-economically diverse student population. While the primary responsibility for financing a student’s education remains with the family, all families may apply for a financial aid award. Each year, the School allocates approximately three million dollars in need-based financial aid. Financial aid is applied toward the total cost of tuition and does not need to be repaid.

The Admission Committee encourages all families to apply for admission, regardless of ability to pay tuition. The admission review process and financial aid review process occur independently of each other. Financial aid applications are reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee, which is overseen by the Director of Admission and Financial Aid.

Please note, Walnut Hill School for the Arts does not offer merit-based financial aid for the academic year. All financial aid decisions are based on demonstrated need.
