The Putney School uses Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS) to assess family need. We recommend families use the online application. If you would prefer a paper copy, contact TADS www.tads.com or call 800-477-8237.
The Putney School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sexual orientation, or national or ethnic origin in its admission process or in the administration of its educational policies or scholarships.
The Putney School follows the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) guiding principle that the responsibility of financing a private education rest primarily with the student's family. Incomplete or delayed information may result in no financial aid, or a reduced offer. It is the family's responsibility to meet financial aid deadlines and to provide the Financial Aid Committee at The Putney School with all necessary information.
