More than one-third of the School’s $165 million endowment is devoted to need-based financial aid for students who are admitted to the School. A high value is placed on enrolling students from all backgrounds and varied socioeconomic conditions. This commitment ensures that St. Mark’s will have the ability to attract and enroll boys who will make a difference without being limited by families' ability to pay the tuition.
 

In addition to outright grants for tuition assistance, the School provides funding to boys who receive financial aid to support their entire student experience, including participation in the fine arts, athletics, student travel, the wilderness program, tutoring, and much more.

 
Intended to bridge the gap between a family's resources and the cost of tuition, financial aid is awarded to families across a wide range of income levels. Roughly half of all financial aid grants are awarded to students with an overall family income of more than $175,000. The average financial aid grant is more than $21,000, and the School funds, on average, approximately 90% of the tuition for families with income of less than $140,000. 
 
Financial aid awards are recommended by the St. Mark’s Financial Aid Committee using information provided by applicant families and qualification information from the Clarity Financial Aid Application.

If you are interested in applying for financial aid, please complete an application through Clarity, a resource that helps determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information provided in the application, including assets, income, expenses and debts. Candidates for admission are reviewed without consideration of their family’s financial circumstances and their ability to pay tuition. Applying for financial aid does not impact your son’s admission application in any way. 

To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Simply use the dropdown menu in the application to select those schools.
