All families currently receiving financial aid for the school year, current families who have requested an application for financial aid for next year, and families of prospective students who requested financial aid on their application for admission, will be receiving the initial financial aid mailing in early December 2007. The instructions are detailed in the letter as well as a new brochure that explains the process and policies. This mailing includes the Parents Financial Statement (PFS) that should be completed and received by our office, January 15, 2008. Financial Aid awards will accompany the reenrollment contract that will be mailed on March 1, and new recipients will receive their awards in the acceptance packet mailed on March 10, 2008.

If you do not receive the mailing or would like to apply for financial aid for the school year 2008-09, please contact Bill Ellis, Director of Financial Aid as soon as possible at 724-639-8237.

Tuition, room, and board for domestic students is $33,000.
Tuition, room, and board for international students is $36,000.
Tuition for domestic, day students is $19,500.

Payment is requested on the following schedule:

To reserve the student's place, a 10% enrollment deposit is to be paid within two weeks of acceptance, accompanied by your signed enrollment contract.

The remaining tuition balance is due in-full by July 1 or families may enroll in the FACTS 10 Month Payment Plan (May - February). Students are admitted for the entire school year only and no rebates are given for absence, withdrawal or dismissal.

In addition, a $1,000.00 non-tuition incidental account deposit is required by July 1. This account is for expenses a boy incurs that are not covered by tuition, such as: books; student store purchases (toiletries, school supplies, clothing); haircuts from the school barber; school laundry service; theater or concert tickets for school-sponsored, off campus trips; and a weekly allowance. A monthly statement of each student's account is mailed to his parents. (Back to top)

Kiski tries to meet the financial need of all admitted students. In fact, 42 percent of students in 2007-2008 received need-based financial assistance totaling more than $1.6 million.

Financial aid awards are determined annually by Kiski's Financial Aid Committee, based on information supplied by the student's family to the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS).

In addition, Kiski offers four merit scholarships each year to freshmen -- three boarding student awards of $15,000 and one day student award of $5,000. These merit scholarship awards can be supplemented with need-based financial aid as well. Merit scholarship awards are based upon academic excellence and are renewable each year, as long as the student maintains very good grades and conduct. Families interested in either need-based financial aid or merit scholarships should contact the Director of Admissions. (Back to top)
