Financial Aid

Berkeley Preparatory School is committed to enrolling a diverse and talented student body.

  • APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL AID

    In determining need, Berkeley Preparatory School follows NAIS Principles of Good Practice. Financial aid awards are based upon FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment (FACTS) financial assessment of each applicant. It is important to note that Berkeley may not be able to accommodate all financial aid applicants in a given year. The deadline for applying for financial aid for current Berkeley students is December 31, 2023. New families apply to Berkeley have a deadline of February 1, 2024. Complete applications and required documents received in the Admissions Office by the deadline will receive first priority relative to aid dollars available.

    All families applying for financial aid for the first time should contact the Admissions Office. Families currently receiving aid must submit a new financial aid application each year. If the financial circumstances remain the same, the School will make every effort to assist a family at the same level of aid.

  • DOCUMENTS REQUIRED

    To apply for financial aid, please complete the following steps no later than December 31, 2023 for returning Berkeley families, or February 1, 2024 for new applicants:
    1. Create your FACTS online account
    2. Complete your Financial Aid application
    3. Submit your additional required documents listed below:
    • Upload your 2021 and 2022 1040 income tax return(s) with signatures
    • Business/Farm Statement and Corporate Tax Return/Schedule C/Schedule F (if applicable)
    • Upload your 2021 and 2022 W-2 Forms (if applicable)
    • Upload a copy of your most recent pay stub(s)
    • By April 15, 2024, upload a copy of your 2023 federal tax forms with all supporting schedules and W-2 Forms (if applicable)

    Due to the difficulty in evaluating need using non-US dollars and tax structure, a family must provide 2021 and 2022 US tax returns in order to apply for financial aid.

  • DIVORCED, SEPARATED, OR NEVER-MARRIED PARENT/GUARDIAN

    Recognizing that each parent bears a responsibility for financing a student’s education, financial information from all family members is required. Custodial and non-custodial parents (regardless of legal settlements, who are divorced, separated, or never married) must submit their own Financial Aid application. The Financial Aid Committee will consider all household assets in determining need.

  • IMPORTANT DATES

    The deadline for applying for financial aid for current Berkeley students is December 31, 2023, with an award notification emailed in late January.

    For new applicants to Berkeley, financial aid applications and all supporting documentation must be submitted by February 1, 2024 to be considered for financial aid awards distributed in March.
