Financial Aid

Financial aid grants are awarded to students based on their family's financial need. Every year, Bancroft awards over $4 million in grants to Bancroft families.

Although Bancroft does expect that families will consider all available resources before requesting tuition assistance, the School recognizes that affordability is an important issue and works with each individual family carefully and thoughtfully.

The best way to understand the School's financial aid process is to meet with the Financial Aid Office, who will be happy to answer your questions. Please contact the Admission Office at 508.854.9227 to arrange a meeting.

Financial Aid Applications for the 2024-2025 school year will be available to complete through Clarity on October 1st.

The Bancroft School Financial Aid Program is designed to make a Bancroft education possible for all families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. Bancroft is proud to use the Clarity Application to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts.

To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Simply use the dropdown menu in the application to select those schools.

Please remember to return to your dashboard after you complete and submit your Clarity Application, as Bancroft requires you to upload additional tax documentation including all 2022 W2s, 1040s and any supporting documents.

The deadline for completing the financial aid application including relevant supplemental documents is January 15, 2024.

If you need support during the process of completing your application, there is in-app support available through the “Help” button in the bottom left of the screen, as well as email and phone support at support@clarityapp.com or 206-210-3752, in both English and Spanish. The application itself is also fully translated into Spanish.
