Tuition Assistance

We believe that multiple perspectives in our community and in our classrooms enrich the educational experience of all our life-long learners. As a result, the Phillips Brooks School has committed to making an education at PBS one that can be accessible to a broad range of families. To fulfill this commitment, the school maintains a strong tuition assistance program. We encourage qualified families to apply for financial assistance for the 2011-2012 school year.

Financial aid is not guaranteed and families must reapply for aid every year. The School will continue to fund that family as long as their student(s) remain in good standing. The family must also complete the necessary paperwork according to the School¹s schedule, and finally the family must continue to demonstrate need for assistance. While we believe in partnering with each family, the responsibility for the cost of education rests with the parents to the extent that they are able to shoulder this responsibility.

To apply for financial assistance, the Financial Aid Application should be completed and mailed to The NAIS School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) in Pittsburgh. Alternatively, it can be completed online. To do so, please visit their website at www.nais.org/financialaid/sss.

In addition to W2s, tax returns and IRS 4506 forms are required to be mailed to the PBS Business Office in order to complete your application.

If you have financial aid questions, do not hesitate to call Sue Reyneri, Director of Finance, at 650-854-4545 x117 or email her at sreyneri@phillipsbrooks.org. For questions regarding admissions, please call Amanda Perla, Director of Admissions, at 650-854-4545 x110 or email her at aperla@phillipsbrooks.org.

Documentation must be supplied in a timely manner because awards are made on a first-come, first-served basis.
