Admissions: Financial Aid

Is financial aid available?
A limited amount of financial aid is available, based strictly on a family’s financial need. Eligibility for financial aid is evaluated by School and Student Services for Financial Aid.  There is a small fee for this evaluation, which must be paid directly to SSS at the time of submission.

Aid is concentrated on returning students, but is also available to new students. Please note that aid is not available to seniors transferring in, due to the high costs of college counseling and advisory. The maximum amount of aid for new students is 50 percent of tuition, although most awards will be lower. Financial aid is not applicable to book and activity fees.

Does SSIS Offer Scholarships?

Spring Street offers a few need and merit-based scholarships.
