Financial Aid

An Ashley Hall education is an investment in your child's future.

Ashley Hall welcomes inquiries from current and prospective families about our financial aid program. We strive to partner with families to make sure that an Ashley Hall education is accessible to all qualified girls. We seek girls poised to become educated leaders who are independent, ethically responsible and prepared to meet the challenges of society with confidence, regardless of their financial status.

We understand that affordability is a major consideration for parents, and both the Admission Office and the Business Office are here to serve as a resource. Our financial aid application is separate from the admission application and is not a factor in admission decisions. All information is strictly confidential, limited to review by the financial aid committee and will be returned upon request.

In order to qualify for financial aid, a child must be enrolled in the School and families must have submitted an application to the School and Student Services (SSS). Need-based financial aid is a grant, not a loan, and is allocated on first-come, first-served basis to families of students in Kindergarten through grade 12.

There are two ways to submit an application to the School and Student Services (SSS): online or by paper application. Families are asked to submit all information by March 1; forms received after March 1 will be processed on a funds-available basis.

Online applications ($37):

Go to sss.nais.org/parents or click on the SSS logo below. You will be asked to supply a copy of your 2011 federal income tax return (Form 1040), all supporting schedules and W-2s, which can be submitted either electronically or by mail.

Paper applications ($49):

Download the forms (please see Financial Aid: SSS Applications and Information) or request a packet from Janet Morrison in the Ashley Hall Business Office, (843) 720-2867 or morrisonj@ashleyhall.org. You will be asked to supply a copy of your 2011 federal income tax return (Form 1040), all supporting schedules and W-2s. Mail the application and supporting documents to SSS by NAIS, Post Office Box 449, Randolph, MA 02368-0449.
