Financial Assistance

The Galloway School is committed to admitting qualified students regardless of a family's ability to pay the full cost of tuition. Galloway awarded more than $2.0 million in financial assistance to 13% of our students in grades PreK-12 for the 2023-24 school year. There are a wide range of families who qualify, from those who can afford only minimal tuition to those who can afford almost full tuition. Family annual incomes of up to $200,000 may qualify for financial assistance consideration, and awards range from $1,800 to $27,700.

Philosophy Statement

The purpose of financial assistance is to enhance and enrich the Galloway community and educational experience by financially supporting students who are particularly well suited for Galloway and who are challenged to attend due to financial limitations. Financial assistance supports Galloway's commitment to inclusiveness as articulated in the school's Diversity Policy Statement. All of our financial assistance awards are based on demonstrated need which is the calculated difference between the amount a family can be expected to contribute to the cost of their student’s education and the amount of annual tuition. We do not provide scholarships for academic, athletic, or artistic merit.

Financial Assistance Process

Galloway uses the Clarity Financial Aid platform to process financial assistance applications. Clarity calculates an estimated amount a family can contribute to educational expenses, which is used as a starting point in making fair and objective financial decisions. To be eligible for consideration for financial assistance, families must complete the the Clarity online application and must supply all requested information and supporting documentation by the deadline. The application and required documents can be submitted anytime after September 1, 2023. Families must apply for assistance annually.
