Tuition and Financial Aid

King's Financial Aid Program is designed to enable students of all socioeconomic backgrounds to attend our School. Every family is required to invest something toward their child’s education; financial aid is made available to supplement a family’s resources. Financial aid is granted on the basis of demonstrated need.

You may begin to apply for financial aid for the 2013-2014 school year starting on November 1, 2012, as described below. To be eligible for consideration for Financial Aid at King, you must complete your application by January 1, 2013. We will communicate decisions about financial aid on February 22, 2013.

We use School and Student Services (SSS) to process our financial aid applications. SSS is a service of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). Based on the financial information you provide, SSS gives us an estimated amount your family can contribute to educational expenses. This helps our school make fair and objective financial aid decisions. To begin your financial aid application for the 2013-2014 enrollment year, follow the steps below.

Please begin the process by completing the Preliminary Financial Aid Application and submit it to King before December 1, 2012.
