Financial Assistance

Khan Lab School is dedicated to enrolling and supporting a school community that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. One way we make this a reality is with a need-based financial assistance program that helps qualifying families with tuition and other school-related expenses.

We use an organization called School & Student Services (SSS) to process the applications we ask interested families to complete for us. SSS also offers an abundance of advice about how to decide whether to apply and how to respond to the questions that the application contains.

The deadline to submit your application and provide all required supporting materials is January 15. Applications received after this date will be considered only to the extent that the limited funds we have set aside for this program remain available. Applications are required for each year of attendance.
