Financial Aid

List of 5 items.

• + Apply Online

  Our financial aid program is designed to make a Shady Hill education possible for all families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. Shady Hill uses the Clarity Financial Aid Application to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application, which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts.

  
  To get started applying for need-based financial aid, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere! You are also able to save your progress and return at any time.
  
  At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Simply use the dropdown menu in the application to select those schools.
  
  

  Please remember to return to your dashboard after you complete and submit your Clarity Application, as you may need to upload additional documentation, such as our Afterschool worksheet.

  Please keep in mind that if a family enrolls at Shady Hill School without a financial aid grant, they are not eligible for aid in future years unless there is a significant shift in the family's financial circumstances.
