• Brooks School offers need-based financial aid to make education accessible to qualified students.
   
• If you believe you need financial assistance, indicate your interest in financial aid by checking the appropriate box on the inquiry form and application.
   
• Brooks School awards over $6 million in financial aid annually, but not all applicants can be funded.
   
• If an applicant qualifies for financial aid but both financial aid and a place at the school are not available, the applicant will be wait-listed. To be taken off the wait-list, both a place and financial aid must become available.
   

In Order to Apply for Financial Aid: 

• To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. 
   
• The application is also mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. 
   
• You are able to save your progress and return at any time. 
   
• At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit. 

The deadline for completing the financial aid application is December 31, 2025 for returning families and January 15, 2026 for new applicants. 

Applications received after the applicant date are considered as long as funds remain available. Decisions on financial aid awards accompany acceptances and enrollment contracts. 

If you do not believe that you can afford the cost of a Brooks education, then you should apply for financial aid. If you do not qualify for need-based financial aid, we may call and ask if you want your child to be considered for admission without aid.
