Financial Aid

Concord Academy’s financial aid program enables the school to enroll qualified students who might not otherwise have access to an independent school education. CA is committed to being a diverse and inclusive community that represents a broad range of economic backgrounds. Consequently, CA believes that no student should be deterred from applying for admission due to financial constraints. Families who feel they need financial assistance to attend the school are encouraged to apply for financial aid.

The 2006–07 budget for Concord Academy’s financial aid program exceeds $2 million and represents almost 17 percent of the school’s operating budget. Currently, financial aid grants and loans are used to support seventy-five new and continuing families representing approximately 20 percent of the student body. Grants range from $1,000 to the full tuition. Financial aid funds are also available to help with the cost of additional expenses including books, travel, athletic equipment, school trips, music lessons, tutoring, and the college application process.
