FINANCIAL AID

A limited amount of financial aid is available to current Upper School students. These grants are need-based, with considerations being given to merit and achievement. The oldest students will be given preference in the awarding of financial aid. Families who apply for financial aid are required to apply to the School and Student Service for Financial Aid program. This service provides the school with the recommended parental contribution for education. With that recommendation, the school’s Financial Aid Committee determines the amount of the award. The financial aid service does not award financial aid; these limited grants come from Waterford's operating revenue.

SCHOLARSHIPS

The Waterford Funded Scholarship is intended for a student who is enrolling in Class I-X whose family demonstrates complete financial need (see income qualification table). This scholarship recognizes the unique and unusual contributions the student brings to Waterford, such as strong academic accomplishments, character, qualities, and special gifts or talents.

The candidate must demonstrate a desire to learn and to develop his or her talents. The student must be ready to study, practice, and achieve in a rigorous academic environment. The applicant’s readiness will be gauged through a review of the student’s academic record, standardized testing, teacher recommendations, personal attributes and interests and talents. Ongoing parental support is essential to the success of Waterford students.
