Financial aid is awarded on the basis of need to incoming students as well as students who are already enrolled.  

Emerson School uses School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) to assist with financial aid awards.  Financial Aid is  a need-based program offered to students with signed contracts.  Receiving an award in a given year does not guarantee an award for any subsequent years. Similarly, denial of an award in any year does not preclude an award in another year.  Most awards are allocated when the Financial Aid Committee meets in mid to late March to determine Financial Aid Awards for the upcoming academic year.  Parents who wish to be considered for Financial Aid should follow the following steps. 

Following the steps below should provide the most accurate information and avoid delays in processing.
