Flexible Tuition Program
The cost of educating a student at Bryn Mawr–with our personalized attention, stellar faculty, state-of-the art facilities and myriad opportunities beyond the classroom–is substantial. We recognize that the tuition and fees can feel prohibitive to many families and we are committed to making Bryn Mawr accessible and affordable for the family of each student we admit regardless of financial circumstances.
In return, we seek families who will place the educational experience of their child as a priority in budgeting their financial resources and in their commitment of time.
Who Should Apply?
We value a diverse school community that includes students with a variety of economic backgrounds. We offer tuition payment options and award approximately $7 million in tuition assistance each year to more than one-third of our families. Flexible Tuition awardees include middle-income families, families with relatively high income who have multiple children in private schools, and those whose financial circumstances qualify them for a grant near the full cost of tuition and fees.
Families interested in the Flexible Tuition program submit information about their financial resources to Clarity and we use standard criteria to evaluate a family’s ability to pay the tuition. While it is difficult to define a “typical” Flexible Tuition candidate, common threads among families who qualify are factors like income, the number of children in a family, and lifestyle choices.

Bryn Mawr School
Merit Scholarships
The Bryn Mawr School is pleased to provide both merit and need-based scholarships to qualifying students who embody the values and mission of The Bryn Mawr School.
Head of School Awards
New Middle and Upper School students receive consideration for a Head of School Award, a partial tuition scholarship. Award recipients are chosen based on exceptional academic performance, strong personal integrity, leadership potential, and significant involvement in the community. All applicants who submit their admission application by the deadline will automatically be considered for one of these awards, which are communicated with admission acceptance. The Head of School Award is renewable annually, provided the student continues to demonstrate high academic achievement and solid character.
Named Scholarships
Each year, a number of Middle and Upper School students are awarded named scholarships honoring their exceptional academic potential and outstanding personal qualities. These students benefit from financial support provided by funds created by long-time supporters and friends of Bryn Mawr. Named scholarship recipients must apply and qualify for need-based financial aid through our regular Flexible Tuition Program. Incoming student recipients will be notified with their acceptance communication.
