Financial Aid
At Oakwood School, we believe every child deserves access to an exceptional education—one that inspires curiosity, builds confidence, and supports students in reaching their fullest potential. We know that investing in independent schooling is a significant commitment, and no two financial situations are alike. That’s why we are committed to partnering with you to help make Oakwood financially accessible.
Oakwood offers a combination of merit scholarships and need-based financial aid to qualifying families. We encourage any family who thinks they may need support to apply, even if you are unsure whether you may qualify. Completing an application allows us to fully understand your family’s circumstances and work together to identify a path forward.
Financial Aid Applications
Financial aid applications are submitted through Clarity, a secure third-party service that reviews and verifies your information. All financial aid materials are kept confidential and are reviewed only by Oakwood’s Financial Assistance Committee. Please note that eligibility for admission to Oakwood is determined entirely independent of the aid application submitted.
Oakwood partners with families through a process that is confidential, individualized, and designed to help determine what level of assistance may be possible and how we may be able to support you. Whether you are just beginning the admissions process or are a returning family re-evaluating your needs, we are here to guide you through the process.
Financial Aid is available for Oakwood students beginning in kindergarten. Oakwood does not provide financial aid for students in preschool and junior kindergarten.
