How did you hear about The Putney School Summer Arts?

The Putney School Summer Arts offers need based financial aid to families that qualify, in order to make our programs a possibility for more students. In order to be considered for financial aid, a student must first apply to the program and be accepted. We award aid whenever possible, giving priority to students who are new to the programs. Once accepted, we will send a link for families to submit a financial aid application through Clarity once an application is completed and processed. A fee may be assessed during this process through the app, but may be waived based on the information provided in your Financial Aid application. At this time, parents will need to upload their most recent Federal Tax return with their application. If parents are not filing jointly, each parent completes and submits a separate form. All Financial Aid applications are due by March 15. Award decisions will be communicated to families after April 1.
