Tuition & Financial Aid

Making a commitment to an Oakwood education is an investment in your child's future. While families have the primary responsibility for financing their child’s education to the extent they can, we are firmly committed to helping families make this possible. Oakwood has a long-standing commitment to enrolling a culturally, socially, and economically diverse student body. Financial aid is awarded on the sole basis of economic need without regard to race, religion, nationality, ethnicity or sexual orientation. All financial aid information is confidential and an applicant's financial need does not affect admission eligibility. Many families meet tuition expenses through a combination of out-of-pocket tuition payments, financial aid grants, and loans. Different strategies may be appropriate for different families, and our financial aid committee is available and at the ready to help.

Financial Aid Process

In order to determine a family’s financial need, Oakwood utilizes an independent agency called the School and Student Services for Financial Aid (SSS), which is operated through the National Association of Independent Schools. SSS provides an objective methodology for calculating a family’s contribution towards educational expenses. All final decisions regarding financial aid are made by Oakwood’s Financial Aid Committee.
