Thank you for taking a moment to learn more about the Tuition Assistance program at St. Luke's School.  At St. Luke's, we know that the cost associated with tuition can be prohibitive to families who otherwise consider St. Luke's the perfect fit for their children.  In order to meet the need of qualified applicants, St. Luke's establishes a healthy tuition assistance budget each year.  For the 2009-2010 academic year, St. Luke's awarded over $2.4 million in tuition assistance to roughly 18% of its students. 

To apply for tuition assistance for the 2010-2011 school year, please go to the Financial Information section in the Application for Admission and check "YES".  Or, contact the Office of Admission at (203) 801-4833 or by email at info@stlukesct.org and we will send you the appropriate forms and instructions to guide you through the process, including the School and Student Service for Financial Aid publication, The Family Guide to Financial Aid.

Financial aid at St. Luke's is awarded on the basis of demonstrated need. Calculations are determined by the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) in Pittsburgh, PA and by the St. Luke's Financial Aid Committee.  To be considered for financial aid, an application for admission must be completed.

Some important dates to remember:

  • Mid-November: Parents will be able to submit their Parents' Financial Statement (PFS) either online or via the US Postal Service
  • December 15, 2009: Applicants must submit the Preliminary Application
  • January 1, 2010: Parents' Financial Statement (PFS) must be submitted online or mailed with the appropriate fee to SSS
  • January 1, 2010: All applications for tuition assistance must be completed
  • January 15, 2010: Deadline for Application for Admission
  • February 19,2010: Decisions on financial aid are mailed to families          

A completed application for financial aid includes a copy of the Parents' Financial Statement (PFS), official copies of the 2008 and 2009 Federal Tax Form 1040, and all supporting tax schedules.  

Applications among qualified families who complete the financial aid process after January 1, will be reviewed as funds become available.

If the student's parents are divorced, both must submit financial documentation.

For more information about Financial Aid, please visit the websites of either the National Association for Independent Schools or the School and Student Services for Financial Aid.


Many families require assistance beyond what a school may be able to offer. NAIS' Tuition Loan Programs and Tuition Payment Plans pages should serve as a resource to help you identify other types of financing options that may be available to you. We encourage you to contact these companies and agencies to check on current fees and rates and to assess whether their services would be reasonable financing alternatives for you at the school of your choice. This list is neither an endorsement nor representation of sponsorship of these payment plans or loan programs.

This information comes from the very valuable www.nais.org site which families are strongly urged to consult.
