Tuition Assistance
Agnes Irwin is committed to being an inclusive, diverse, and equitable community, and we strive to make an Agnes Irwin education available to bright, motivated girls regardless of a family’s ability to pay.
Investing in your daughter’s education is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. We are here to assist in that choice.
For the 2025-2026 school year, thanks to the generosity of our donors, we offered $5.8 million in tuition assistance to 33% of Agnes Irwin families, with approximately half of the awards ranging between $18,800 to $34,250.
Tuition Assistance Overview
Agnes Irwin is committed to making our education accessible to families from a wide range of financial backgrounds. Tuition assistance is available to families who demonstrate financial need and complete the application process by the required deadlines. Please note that we do not offer merit-based scholarships.
Tuition assistance awards are determined by the Tuition Assistance Committee based on demonstrated need and the availability of funds at the time a complete admission and assistance application is submitted.
To be considered for the 2026–2027 school year—and to maximize your chances of receiving aid—you must submit a complete application by the first-round deadline of December 5, 2025. Late applications will be reviewed only if funds remain.
Please note:
-
Per Board of Trustees policy, Pre-Kindergarten tuition assistance is capped at 50% of tuition, even for families who qualify for more.
-
In cases of split households, both parents are required to submit separate Clarity applications and all supporting documentation.
If you have questions about the process, please contact Director of Upper School Admission & PreK–12 Tuition Assistance Natalie J. Brennan ’05.
