Financial Aid

Every student’s family may apply for need-based Financial Aid.

  • The deadline for prospective families to apply is February 1.
  • The deadline for returning families to apply is December 15 (returning families who are new to Financial Aid should notify the Admission Office by December 1).

About 25% of families receive some Financial Aid each year. Beaver does not award merit scholarships.

The Financial Aid process is separate from the Admission Process and the Financial Aid application must be re-submitted every year. Decisions are made by the Financial Aid Committee at Beaver and are based on the reporting system called School and Student Service for Financial Aid (Solutions by SSS).
