    Affording a Burke's Education

    Burke’s has a strong commitment to ensuring socioeconomic diversity in the school and recognizes that tuition and fees are a large financial commitment for families.
    For the 2023-24 academic year, more than $3 Million was awarded to approximately 28% of our students in Kindergarten through 8th Grade whose families have demonstrated need. Families receiving assistance will be awarded reductions on not only tuition, but on extended care, transportation, educational support and other school-related expenses at the same percentage rate as their overall award. For example, if you receive 75% off of your tuition, you will additionally be awarded 75% off of any transportation, extended care costs, etc. Families on financial assistance also receive a uniform stipend.
     
    Please note: Financial assistance applications through TADS will be open at the beginning of November 2023.
