In addition to need-based financial assistance (funded through the school’s operating budget), the school maintains a scholarship program. Scholarships at Waterford are supported by generous, restricted gifts to the school’s endowment. These gifts support the Endowed Scholarship Fund as well as Named Scholarships. Applicants for the following scholarships must meet specific qualifications and criteria for consideration.
To apply, please begin by indicating your intention to apply for tuition assistance in the initial inquiry portion of your child’s application for admission. Additionally, please complete the Clarity application for Financial Aid. This application will determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application which includes income, assets, expenses, and debts. The admission office will follow up with you directly about the next steps in the process once both applications are submitted.
