Your Pathway to a WMA Education: Tuition & Financial Aid

If you do not believe you can afford the cost of a Wilbraham & Monson Academy education, then yes, please apply for Financial Aid. Each year, more than 40 percent of our student body receives discounted tuition.

Based on your Personal Financial Statement, the Clarity Financial Aid platform will estimate how much you should be able to contribute toward your child's education. Clarity uses a standard calculation which takes into account your income and expenses, assets and liabilities and family size. Wilbraham & Monson Academy uses this estimate as a guide, along with your tax returns, to determine your award. Please be aware that each school uses this figure differently based on the school's budget and their specific enrollment needs.

Any additional information that you would like us to consider should be noted in the comment section on your Personal Financial Statement.

All WMA students, regardless of their financial status are expected to work hard, make substantial contributions to the school and benefit from our academic program.

No. WMA does not award athletic scholarships. The majority of our disbursed funds are need-based, with the exception of a limited number of Head of School Awards.

We will take into consideration expenses for all children that are attending tuition-paying schools with the exception of graduate school. Please make sure to list all students on the Personal Financial Statement.

If you own a business, through the Clarity Finacial Aid platform you will be requested to upload your business return.

You must submit a new Personal Financial Statement and tax return each year. If your income has not changed significantly, your award will be comparable each year. If there are changes in your financial picture, it is likely that we will adjust your award accordingly.

Both parents are expected to contribute to their child's education. Tuition is based on ability to pay, not willingness to pay. Therefore, both parents must participate in the financial process. Both must submit a Personal Financial Statement to the Clarity Financial Aid platform along with signed copies of their tax forms. If there are extenuating circumstances that warrant waiving this requirement, a written request should be sent to Kate Gaw, Director of Admission & Financial Aid.
