Tuition & Financial Aid

Choosing an independent school is a significant financial commitment—but choosing the right independent school is an investment in your child’s future. Choosing Marlborough means investing in an education where the difference is clear.

The opportunities, mentorship, and lifelong impact of a Marlborough education extend far beyond the classroom, shaping confident, empathetic leaders who lead in whatever field they choose to pursue. While we recognize that every family's financial circumstances are different, our need-based financial aid program ensures that talented, ambitious students have access to this transformative education, regardless of financial circumstances.

Financial Aid Distribution: Support at Every Level

 

Marlborough’s financial aid program is designed to meet families where they are, ensuring that students from a wide range of financial backgrounds can access our extraordinary education. Aid is distributed across all income levels, meaning there’s no single profile of a financial aid recipient—every band is represented.

The average award for the 2024-2025 academic year is $37,000, which covers 66% of a student’s tuition. The school also covers a portion of educational fees proportional to a student's financial aid award.


How to Apply for Financial Aid

Marlborough’s Financial Aid program helps make a Marlborough education accessible to families based on demonstrated financial need and available funds.

We use Clarity Tuition to manage our financial aid process. Clarity simplifies the application and provides a clearer picture of a family’s financial situation by reviewing income, assets, expenses, and debts. Based on the information you provide to Clarity, along with supplemental documents—including a space where you can elaborate on any situation you feel the committee needs to know, Clarity calculates an estimated amount your family can contribute toward educational expenses.

All applications are reviewed by Marlborough’s Financial Aid Committee, which considers each family’s unique circumstances and strives to ensure equity across our community.

If you have any questions about the financial aid process, please contact Stephanie Polanco at stephanie.polanco@marlborough.org
