Tuition and Financial Aid

Financial Aid

St. Hilda’s & St. Hugh’s strives to meet the needs of our accepted applicants requesting financial aid. 

Since its founding in 1950, St. Hilda’s & St. Hugh’s stated mission has been to enroll students who represent a wide range of backgrounds. Our financial aid program assists qualified children who might not otherwise have access to an independent school education. 

The significant competition for financial aid funding makes it critical that families submit all requested materials in a timely manner. Financial aid is open to all students in nursery-grade 8. Beginners applicants are not eligible to apply. Financial aid is also available for our After School Program and for St. Hilda’s & St. Hugh’s camps. We regret that we are unable to offer financial aid to all families who qualify.

Families who indicate that they plan to apply for financial aid on their application will automatically have their application fee waived.
