Tuition Assistance
The Shipley School remains committed to making a Shipley education accessible to students from a range of socio-economic backgrounds.
Over $8 million dollars was awarded to approximately 38 percent of Shipley's students for the 2024-2025 school year. This financial support comes from Shipley’s endowment, gifts to the school and tuition. All awards are based on demonstrated need and are revised on an annual basis.
Families of students applying to any grade are welcome to apply for tuition assistance.
