Determining Need For Financial Aid
Milton Academy looks at many factors in order to assess need. Milton defines “need” as the difference between the total cost of attendance (tuition, books, etc.) and a family’s ability to pay that cost. The need assessment is based upon income and family expenses, assets and liabilities, family size, cost of living and the number of children for whom a family must pay tuition. Milton expects that all parents who seek aid will be employed, unless they are caretakers for children under the age of five, provide live-in care for an elderly dependent, or have a prohibitive disability. In the case of divorced or separated parents, both natural parents are required to complete financial aid applications, and the income and assets of both parents (and new spouses, if any) are taken into consideration.
Although families must reapply for financial aid each year, a family should expect that grants would be renewed at the original level of funding unless there is a significant change in demonstrated need.

How to Apply for Financial Aid
We believe that cost should not prevent talented students from accessing a Milton education. We encourage families to explore financial aid and contact us with questions about the process. Families who wish to apply for financial aid must submit a financial aid application before January 31.
To get started, please go to the Financial Aid Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. It is mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. The submission fee is $65.
You may find these instructions to complete the financial aid application at Clarity helpful. If you need support during the process of completing your application, there is in-app support available as well as email support at support@claritytuition.com or 206-210-3752, in both English and Spanish.
Financial aid information is included with all admission packages, and awards for accepted students will be communicated along with the admission decision on March 10.

Current Families
For families reapplying for aid, Milton reviews aid applications each year; you must reapply by December 15. If there is no significant change in your family’s financial situation, you can expect a comparable aid assessment from year to year. Milton will not review aid applications for the upcoming year prior to the full payment of your tuition and fees for the current academic year. Milton Academy communicates financial aid assessments for current students in May.
New Families
For families applying for aid for the first time, you must apply by December 15 and demonstrate that your financial circumstances have changed significantly since your initial enrollment. A cover letter explaining your change in circumstances must be submitted to the director of financial aid by this deadline as well.

We hope that families will not be discouraged by the costs of independent education or by the process of applying for financial aid.
If you are uncertain about your eligibility for aid or have questions about the process, we urge you to contact the Office of Financial Aid at 617-898-2239.
