Tuition & Financial Aid

Walnut Hill School for the Arts is fully committed to enrolling a diverse student body: diverse in terms of interests, talents, race, ethnicity, and economic background.

We recognize that every family has its own unique financial circumstances. Each financial aid application is reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee. Using the information you provide in your financial aid application, we take into account such important factors as income, assets, cost of living, family size and siblings in tuition charging schools in making financial aid awards.

How to Apply for Financial aid

Walnut Hill partners with School and Student Services (SSS) in our financial aid process. To begin your financial aid application, you will complete the SSS Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) and submit the supporting required documents by the deadlines listed below. Please plan to give yourself the time you need by not waiting until our deadline approaches. It is helpful to have your most recent tax return before beginning the PFS. On average completing the application takes an hour. The SSS website provides helpful resources, tips and support to families as you work your way through the application.

To make our financial aid decisions, Walnut Hill uses the information from the PFS as a starting point. We also consider the school's policies, practices, and available budget.
