Financial Aid

The Berkeley School takes pride in providing a strong financial aid program to our families. Within the constraints of our budget, we are committed to providing access to qualified students regardless of their family’s financial situation. Financial aid is intended as a supplement to family resources, and is provided to families who have demonstrated financial need.

Financial aid decisions are made independently of admissions decisions and do not affect an applicant’s opportunity for enrollment. For information on our tuition for the coming year, this page has the information you need: 2010-2011 tuition and fees

For even more information about financial aid, the School and Student Services site for families, run by the National Association of Independent Schools may be helpful.

PLEASE NOTE: This year, there have been some important changes in the financial aid application process. We invite you to attend one of the workshops to learn more about the role of technology in 2010-2011 and to have an opportunity to ask questions about the Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS.)

Financial Aid Workshops (all held at 1310 University Avenue):

• Tuesday, October 27, 2009, 6:00-6:45 pm (current/returning TBS families only)
• Friday, November 13, 6:00-7:15 pm (current TBS families and prospective families in the admissions application process)
• Tuesday, December 8, 2009, 9:00-10:15 am AND 6:00-7:15 pm (prospective TBS families in the admissions application process)
