Education is your best investment.
TUITION & FINANCIAL AID
We understand that investing in private, independent education requires careful consideration, and we work to make an exceptional academic experience accessible and affordable for families throughout our region.
Need-based financial aid is available and awarded annually to qualifying students. For the 2024-25 school year, 14% of our students received financial aid, and the average award was $3,560.
Awards are based on factors such as household income and expenses, assets and debt, and the number of children in a tuition-based school. Priority is given to currently enrolled families with demonstrated need. Renewal is evaluated annually and families are asked to submit yearly applications through the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) online application (link in sidebar).
All financial information shared with Sullins is held in the strictest confidence.

HOW TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID
Sullins uses School and Student Services for Financial Aid (SSS) to determine financial aid awards and to collect documentation.
Financial aid helps close the gap between a family's financial resources and the total cost of education, and is awarded based on demonstrated need.
Complete just one Parents' Financial Statement (PFS) even if you have multiple children. SSS does not award financial aid. They give the school an estimated amount your family can contribute to educational expenses based on the financial information you provide.
To begin your aid application, follow the steps below.
1. Go to the SSS website.
2. Login to the PFS Online:
- Are you applying for aid for the first time? Click "Create an Account" in the section titled "New to the Family Portal". You will be asked to enter the school code (7560) as well as a series of questions to set up your account.
- Have you applied before? Enter your email and password in the section titled "Returning Family?"
3. Begin a PFS for the Academic Year.
Download the PFS Online Workbook, and refer to on-screen help for guidance along the way. You can log out of the PFS Online at any time – then return later to complete your PFS.
4. Pay for and submit your PFS.
After you have pressed submit, you’ll be brought to a payment screen. The application fee is nonrefundable.
Once your PFS is submitted, it cannot be withdrawn from the SSS system.
