Thank you for your interest in learning more about the financial aid program at Stoneleigh-Burnham School. We support the National Association of Independent Schools' statement that "the family bears the primary responsibility for financing a child's education to the extent that it is able." However, we also are committed to helping support qualified well-rounded and positive students who would not otherwise have the opportunity to benefit from and contribute to our community. This commitment is evident in that nearly 42% of our current students receive some form of assistance from the school and many other families have been counseled in creative financing options. Overall, the school grants over $1,000,000 in outright financial aid to qualifying families.
How to Apply for Financial Aid
- The Personal Financial Statement (PFS) should be mailed by January 15* to the School and Student Service (SSS) in Randolph, MA. New families should mail the statement as soon as possible after it has been received. To request a copy of the form, please contact the Admissions Office. You may estimate income and expenses if the exact numbers are not known. The Financial Aid Office will make corrections by referring to the IRS Form 1040.
- Both custodial and non-custodial parents should submit a signed copy of their current year IRS Form 1040, all W-2 forms, and all schedules and statements to the Financial Aid Office on or before February 15*.
- The Financial Aid Committee will meet to review your request for financial aid when your daughter has been accepted and we have received the following:
- copies of your current and previous years' Income Tax Returns
- copies of your W-2 forms for last year and previous year
- copy of the PFS form sent to SSS in Randolph, MA
