Tuition Assistance

The Upper Valley Waldorf School is committed to providing tuition assistance to families who would not be able to afford our education without it. Tuition assistance is awarded according to demonstrated financial need and the limitations of our overall financial aid budget. Our school strives to offer a meaningful level of assistance to every family that demonstrates a genuine need.

How Awards Are Made

The Waldorf School uses the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) branch of the Education Testing Service in Princeton as the departure point in the analysis for awarding grants.

Information related to Tuition Assistance requests is available through theAdmissions Director.
