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 2012-2013 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 application can be completed online through NAIS Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) at http://sss.nais.org/parents/. Applications are due January 6, 2012.

All supplementary forms (2011 Tax Returns, IRS Form 4506 and W2s) are due in the mail to the PBS Business Office by February 13th. If you prefer to complete your application in paper form, please contact Karen Jones (x117) in the Business Office and forms can be sent to you. 

If you have financial aid questions, do not hesitate to call Karen Jones, Director of Finance, at 650-854-4545 x117 or email her at kjones@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.
