Financial Assistance

Walker’s Financial Assistance Program provides qualified girls with the opportunity for a premier independent school education while fostering a well-balanced, richly diverse student body.

Our financial aid program is need-based and does not include merit scholarships.

Each family must apply annually for financial aid, and their tax documents will be reviewed annually. Once a financial aid grant is given to a family, the School commits to providing the same percentage of assistance in the future as long as demonstrated need remains the same, and the student remains in good standing. It is also important to know that when tuition increases from year to year, families are asked to assume some percentage of this increase. Any questions concerning qualifications for financial aid may be addressed to Sarah Edwards, Financial Aid Specialist, at sedwards@ethelwalker.org.
