Financial Aid & Scholarships

Upon acceptance, students in JK through 12th grade may qualify for financial aid. The Financial Aid Committee works with a number of families each year to make a University Lake School education affordable. On average over 40% of our students receive merit based or other financial assistance. We make a concerted effort to enroll a diverse student body, with the intent to prepare students for college and beyond.
