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 more than 30% of our families. If your family may need financial assistance during your student's time at Lawrenceville, we encourage you to apply for aid.

Our tuition is comprehensive and inclusive of most fees.
How to Apply for Financial Aid
The deadline to apply for financial aid is January 15, but you can begin at any time using the steps below.
Please contact us with any questions at lgold@lawrenceville.org
Submit Inquiry Form
Our Inquiry Form includes a prompt to indicate your interest in applying for aid.
Submit Admission Application
After submitting an inquiry, complete the admission application through Gateway. Fee waivers are available for Vericant (online interview platform used for international applicants), SSAT and ISEE test takers, and application fees. To request a waiver, please email lgold@lawrenceville.org.
Submit Aid Application
Complete the aid application through Clarity. Please note, it is the parents' 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.
Our Approach to Financial Aid
Committed to meeting the full, demonstrated need of qualifying students, Lawrenceville provides need-based grants to support each student. Unlike loans, these grants do not need to be repaid; they are Lawrenceville's investment in your student and in our broader community. As we continue to make a Lawrenceville education a reality for all students, we strive for:
Access and Affordability
Make Lawrenceville accessible for students from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds.
Clear Process
Make the need-based aid process streamlined and accessible for families.
Open Communication
Communicate transparently throughout the process to help families feel valued.
As a senior, when I look back on my Lawrenceville experience, I am so grateful for the people that fostered me into the person I have become. Lawrenceville cultivates such a unique group of students that all have different experiences, talents, and backgrounds, but each contributes their own fundamental roles to the community.
