Tuition and Aid
The Lawrenceville School is an investment in your child's future — a strong academic foundation, a supportive community, and an experience that helps them embrace whatever comes next.
Learning is enriched when it happens among students with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. One way we uphold this value is to provide financial aid grants to meet the demonstrated need of our families. More than 30% of our current families receive need-based grants. If your family may need financial assistance during your student's time at Lawrenceville, we encourage you to apply for aid.

Complete Application
Financial Aid application is concurrent with application for admission. Please see our Application Process page to get started.
Complete the aid application through Clarity. Please note, our policy is that it is the parents' shared responsibility to pay education expenses. As such, we require an application and supporting documentation from both parents.
Upload Required Financial Documentation
A family's eligibility for aid is determined through careful analysis of information provided on the financial aid application, Clarity, and through submission of a family's current, complete, federal tax return. This analysis identifies the dollar amount of a family's discretionary income that is available for tuition and fees.
Many factors are considered in determining who receives need-based aid and the size of the grant. While family income is the most influential consideration, we also take into account the full context of a family's financial situation, including home location, family size, number of children in tuition-charging schools, savings, and other elements. Barring any significant life event, families can expect to receive a similar amount year-to-year.
What Does Need-Based Aid Include?
Committed to meeting the full, demonstrated need of all students, Lawrenceville provides need-based grants to support qualifying students. Unlike loans, these grants do not need to be repaid; they are Lawrenceville's investment in your student and in our broader community.

- One Harkness Travel Experience
- Private Music Lessons
- Athletic Training Trips
- Standardized Test Prep for SAT and ACT
- House and Team Merchandise
Some students also receive additional support, including:
- Travel to and from Campus
