Financial Aid

Stevens Cooperative School has a financial aid program to provide financial assistance to families for whom the tuition may be a significant financial burden. Financial aid awards are determined by the Financial Aid Committee (Head of School, Director of Admissions, Director of Business, one Board member*) according to demonstrated need and are not related to the academic abilities of students. Families applying for financial aid are required to make honest financial disclosure to the Financial Aid Committee. All information and awards are held in strictest confidence by the Committee and it is expected that families will do the same.

*The Board member (if a parent) reviews applications without names or identifying details.
