Tuition Fee and Financial Aid

Burr and Burton Academy has a limited financial aid budget that is awarded on a need basis to qualified students. Financial aid is available to qualified families living in towns that do not tuition their students to Burr and Burton at their annual town meeting.

Burr and Burton Academy seeks to enroll students of strong academic potential, good character and diverse backgrounds who are from families who understand and share the values of the school. It is expected that both parents will contribute to the cost of educating their child. To be eligible, recipients must be in good academic and disciplinary standing.

To simplify the financial aid application process, Burr and Burton uses an online service to process financial aid applications.

For the 2019 - 2020, Burr and Burton Academy will be introducing a new financial aid application processing service replacing the Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) application service that has been used in past years. Families should not apply for financial aid using FAST. Details of the new financial aid application service will be available in mid-February. The service provides a need-based financial aid analysis that includes a recommendation of what a family should reasonably contribute toward tuition.

The service does not decide whether financial assistance will be given or how much to give. All financial aid application information is kept confidential. Applications are reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee, which makes decisions based on available funds. Financial aid offers are then sent to applicants. All students who are awarded financial aid must reapply each year. The deadline for returning students is March 1 and for new students it is May 1.
