Affording MILTON

A fundamental goal of the school is to provide all families in the community the opportunity to send their children to MILTON through graduation. MILTON supports its strong commitment to socio-economic diversity through its Tuition Assistance program. The school offers need-based tuition assistance awards that seek to cover the difference between a family’s available resources and the cost of a student’s educational expenses.

For the 2024-25 school year, MILTON distributed almost $4 million in tuition assistance to about 60% of its families. While MILTON expects all parents to contribute toward the tuition cost to the extent they are financially able, the school encourages those who need assistance to apply.

Will I qualify for Tuition Assistance?

Families are often surprised at the amount of assistance granted each year. If you are uncertain whether you will qualify, please contact our Director of Enrollment Management, Lindsey Marks.

Duration and Commitment

  • Unless a family’s circumstances change significantly from one year to another, your tuition assistance award will not change significantly. Families may pay a certain portion of the tuition increase each year depending upon their financial circumstances.
  • Families will need to complete a Tuition Assistance application each year.
  • Circumstances that may warrant a more significant change to the award:
    • A change in income of more than 5% in either direction.
    • A change in the size of the family — i.e. new baby.
    • Another child attending Milton.
    • The family asks for a full review.
  • A reserve fund is also set aside for families who unexpectedly need assistance during the school year regardless of their current award.
