Tuition Assistance
In support of our core values as a community, we are pleased to offer our Tuition Assistance Program, which is awarded on the basis of financial need.
The Washington Market School Tuition Assistance Committee allocates funding based on the information collected by Clarity Financial Aid, a third-party organization that provides a need-based analysis for independent schools. Families wishing to be considered for tuition assistance for the 2025-26 school year must submit an application and supplemental information through Clarity Financial Aid. This summary is reviewed by The Washington Market Tuition Assistance Committee and awards are offered to families in tandem with their admissions decisions.
For questions about tuition assistance, please reach out to Nora Thomson, Director of Enrollment (212-233-2176; admission@wms-nyc.org.)
