Financial Aid

For rising ninth-grade students, we offer two merit scholarships and two achievement awards to qualified applicants. Learn more here.

Once you have applied for admission, apply for tuition assistance. Returning families should apply annually. It is recommended you create your account with Clarity in November for the coming school year.

Financial need is different for everyone. Tuition assistance at Wardlaw+Hartridge is need based, that is why we ask you to apply to Clarity to see if you qualify. Once you submit all of your tax and other supporting documents to Clarity, they will assess your financial obligations and need for tuition assistance. When their assessment is complete, they will contact Gerard Gonnella, Director of Admission and Financial Aid.

Please note, there is a filing fee with Clarity.

Clarity's policy for determining the financial need of students is based on the principle that both parents are responsible for the support and educational expenses of their children, to the extent that they are financially able to assume responsibility. Wardlaw+Hartridge supports this policy and requires that both the noncustodial and custodial parents provide financial information in order for your financial aid application with Clarity to be considered.

Each parent's financial information is kept confidential. Failing to make sure that your child’s tuition assistance file is complete in this respect can affect the amount of the grant offered. Please contact the Admission Office for guidance in handling unusual circumstances.

In Lower School, the maximum tuition assistance is 50% of the tuition. In Middle and Upper School, that cap is removed as we work with families to assess their need. We do not offer financial aid for PreK or JK.
