Question: Can I Get Financial Aid?
Most private schools offer financial aid. You knew that. Your concern is whether you can qualify for financial aid.
Answer: If your family income is less than $75,000 you might qualify for a completely free education for your child at Phillips Exeter, Phillips Andover, Groton and St. Paul's. Deerfield sets the limit at $80,000. Most schools will give some kind of financial aid package for families with incomes all the way up to $150,000. The rules, requirements and so on vary from school to school. Make sure you ask about financial aid.
