A St. Paul’s education is an investment in your child’s future that will pay dividends throughout his or her life. We recognize that for many families, such an investment is a sacrificial act, and we work hard to keep St. Paul’s affordable. True to our faith’s call to service and outreach, we believe that the St. Paul’s experience should be accessible to the widest possible range of families; to that end, we offer a variety of tuition and support programs. In short, whatever your family’s makeup, economic situation, or background, if our values resonate with you and stir your sense of possibility, we encourage you to contact us and learn more about becoming a member of our community.

We are committed to making a St. Paul's education accessible to students from a range of socio-economic backgrounds. The purpose of the St. Paul’s Episcopal School Tuition Assistance Program is to enroll students who would be unable to attend St. Paul’s without financial assistance and would, by their attendance at the school, potentially gain life opportunities that they would not otherwise have. Additionally, these students’ achievements may be inspirational to other students, and their participation in the school community will broaden the overall student experience.
St. Paul’s does not grant academic or athletic scholarships. All awards are based on demonstrated financial need, and are revised on an annual basis. Both the number and size of Tuition Assistance grants are limited by the School’s financial resources. In the administration of its Tuition Assistance program, St. Paul’s adheres to the Principles of Good Practice of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) member schools.
Assistance may be granted to students in Kindergarten through Grade 12 who meet the academic requirements for admission as well as other requirements.
Please note the following policies before applying for Tuition Assistance:
