Affording Masters

The Masters School is committed to making an exceptional education accessible to a diverse community of students.
We recognize that a Masters education is a significant investment in your child’s future, and we are dedicated to helping as many families as possible afford this educational choice. Masters has a robust financial aid budget. 26% of the student body receives financial aid, which totals more than $6 million.
