Tuition + Financial Aid

A Campbell Hall education is a powerful investment in your child’s future.

Supportive faculty, small class sizes, innovative and inclusive programs, and a priority on social, emotional and spiritual development are hallmarks of the exceptional CH learning experience.

At Campbell Hall, we understand the significant financial commitment our families make. We also understand that each family’s financial circumstances are unique. We are committed to making education affordable for all qualified admitted students and to helping each family navigate the financial aid process.

Families receiving financial aid at Campbell Hall represent a broad range of incomes and economic circumstances. The best way to start is to read the information below, then click on the online application (Parents' Financial Statement). If you would like more information, or have questions before you apply, please contact us to set up a financial aid counseling session.

Financial Aid Applications for prospective Campbell Hall families are due December 15, 2022.

  • Financial Aid Policies and Procedures

    • Financial Aid grants are awarded on the basis of parental financial need. Campbell Hall belongs to School & Student Services (SSS) by Community Brands which requires parents to complete a Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) annually.
    • Applications should be submitted by the stated deadline to receive consideration. The deadline for returning families is Nov 11, 2022 and Dec 15, 2022 for new families.
    • Eligibility for the 2023-24 academic year is determined on the basis of U.S. federal tax returns and W2s for the years 2020 and 2021. Personal and business tax returns (if applicable), and all accompanying schedules, are required in order to apply. Failure to provide tax return information will result in disqualification from the program.
    • In evaluating the appropriate level of tuition for a family, the Financial Aid Committee takes into account the family’s other children (ages, schools they attend), additional dependents, all sources of income, assets, priority of spending, debts, and expenses.
    • Families that would like to be considered for the Financial Aid Program must apply when they file their application for admission. Families that enroll at the full tuition rate will be ineligible to participate in the program in the future. However, families that experience an unforeseen event will be considered, provided they can demonstrate a change in their financial circumstances.
    • In the case of divorced, separated, or never married parents/guardians, both parents/guardians must submit a separate Parents’ Financial Statements to School & Student Services (SSS) and provide their tax information. Neither parent has access to the others’ information.
    • If a parent/guardian has no contact with the family, the custodial parent/guardian should submit third-party verification explaining the situation, i.e. by clergy, school administrator, or other individual with knowledge of the situation.
    • Returning families are given priority for program participation.
    • Priority for program participation for incoming students is given first to high school, then middle school, then to elementary school students.
    • Some non-tuition expenses are covered or reduced. Click here for a list of policies.
  • Frequently Asked Questions

    When do I apply for financial aid?
    • Applications for financial aid are filed at the same time as the application for admission. You must have an active admissions application in order to be considered for a financial aid award. The admissions application fee of $150 is automatically waived for families applying for financial aid.

    Does financial aid cover school fees and other expenses?
    • School fees in general are not covered by financial aid, however, the $2,500 new family fee is waived for those participating in the financial aid program. Additionally, many non-tuition expenses are subsidized for families receiving aid, such as: laptops, summer school, and bus transportation. Click here for details.
    • Families in grades 7-12 will be responsible for the cost of their annual textbook orders.
    Are any forms required other than the PFS and taxes/W2?
    • Although Campbell Hall does not require supplementary forms, an explanation of any special circumstances is appreciated. You may either write in the comments section of the PFS, or send an email directly to the Campbell Hall Financial Aid Office at financialaid@campbellhall.org.

    How do I know if I would qualify for aid?
    • While there are no set income guidelines that determine who will qualify, most families making less than $350,000 per year will likely qualify for an award. Please contact financialaid@campbellhall.org if you would like to discuss your particular circumstances.

    I am applying to more than one school for my child. Do I need to complete a separate financial aid application for each school?
    • The Financial Aid Application on SSS can be sent to any school that utilizes the SSS platform. You may need to complete additional applications for aid if you are applying to schools that use other systems.

    Does Campbell Hall offer merit scholarships?
    • No, all grants are need-based. Campbell Hall does not offer academic, athletic, or other merit scholarships.

    Could the request for aid negatively affect the chances of being accepted for admission?
    • Admissions committee members make their decisions independently. Then, if financial aid funds cannot cover all accepts, families could be denied aid or moved to the admissions wait pool.

    Where does the money come from?
    • Funding is from the school’s operating budget, foundation grants, and major donors.

    How is financial aid distributed?
    • Priority goes to older students since they need funds for a shorter period and are preparing for college. Consideration is sometimes given to present Campbell Hall families who have an emergency or other unforeseen circumstance that can be documented.

    Is all information confidential?
    • Yes, students receiving aid are only known by the financial aid and business offices, so teachers or administrators are not aware of who receives aid.

    Are there fee waivers for the PFS?
    • Fee waivers for the PFS application are issued by SSS and are based on strict income criteria determined by SSS. Most families do not qualify and should expect to pay the application fee of $65. If you do meet the criteria, the waiver will be automatically applied at the end of the application.

    What do I need handy to fill out the PFS online application?
    • You will need your 2020 and 2021 income tax returns, all accompanying schedules, and W2 forms and/or business tax returns (if applicable). It may help to look over the workbooks below for an overview before you fill out the PFS online.
    How can I get help with the application form?
    • If you need help with the online application, call the SSS Helpline at 1.800.344.8328 or visit the SSS Help Page. For questions about the Campbell Hall program, contact financialaid@campbellhall.org.
