Financial Aid
Portledge attracts students from a variety of backgrounds and makes financial aid available to families who could not attend the School without such support. Students who have an interest in attending Portledge School are encouraged to apply for admission, regardless of a family’s ability to pay tuition. All financial aid awards are need-based and are in the form of grants which do not have to be repaid. The admissions and financial aid decisions are separate ones.
More than 20% of Portledge students receive some need-based financial aid. Awards range from partial to full tuition and families from a wide range of income levels have qualified for assistance based on individual family circumstances. Although it is our goal to accommodate all students who are accepted to the school, our budget is limited and priority is given to current students. All awards will be reviewed annually.
