Abington Friends School

Making Abington Friends School affordable for your family.

AFS provides more than $7 million annually in tuition assistance grants and scholarships to families representing a wide range of incomes, with awards ranging from several hundred to several thousand dollars. As a result, more than 50% of the student body is awarded some level of tuition assistance.

Tuition assistance grants are awarded on demonstrated need and are in alignment with the objective standards set by Clarity Financial. Information gained from the Clarity application is used by the Abington Friends School Tuition Assistance Committee to determine the grant amount. AFS is committed to maintaining the same level of support annually, provided you maintain your enrollment status and meet eligibility criteria.

Returning Families: Each family must complete all application procedures annually by the renewal deadlines and continue to demonstrate comparable financial eligibility.

New Families: Families interested in applying for tuition assistance should complete the application at the same time as the application for admission. Tuition assistance files will not be reviewed, however, until the student has been offered admission.

Our Tuition Assistance Application System is Clarity. It is a user-friendly process that can take as few as twenty minutes to complete. Additionally, it is mobile-friendly, so you can complete your application on your cell phone or tablet!
