transfer academic credit if accounts
are not paid in full. No refunds will
be made for absence or withdrawal

Financial Aid
Georgetown Day School has
always opened its doors to students
who can benefit from its educational
program regardless of economic need.
Financial aid is a major commitment
of the School and is available to
students enrolled in Pre-Kindergarten
through twelfth grade. Although it is
not possible to meet all requests for such assistance, the School makes an
effort to help as many families as possible.
Grants are made solely on the
basis of financial need.
Financial aid applications are
mailed to applicants who check the
appropriate box on the Application
for Admission. Parents must provide
a complete financial statement (Click for online form) and an
estimate of the amount of aid needed,
as well as a copy of their most recent
tax return. This financial information
is evaluated by the School and
by Student Service for Financial Aid
(SSS) of Princeton, New Jersey. These
evaluations determine the difference
between the actual cost of a year’s
tuition and what a family can realistically
expect to pay toward this cost.
Award decisions are made by the
School’s Financial Aid Committee by
March 15.
Financial aid materials must be
submitted by January 29, 2009.
