Financial aid and fellowship materials must be submitted with your application for admission. Admission decisions are made without regard to financial need, but financial aid is offered at the time of admission, so all paperwork must come in together. Fellowship decisions are made after the final round of admission decisions.
TTC Application Process
All applicants are required to submit all of the following:
- a completed TTC application form and essay
- a resume
- 3 letters of recommendation, including at least one academic and one professional reference
- official transcripts from all undergraduate and graduate institutions attended
- a $50 application fee (payable to Shady Hill School)
Note: Incomplete application files will not be reviewed by the admissions committee. Please arrange your interview date as early as possible and follow up with all three of your references to make sure they submit your letters on time.
Send all of the above materials together or separately to
