FINANCIAL AID
At Field, we strive to create an inclusive community of learners that reflects the DC metropolitan area's culturally, racially, and economically diverse population. Our Financial Aid Program increases access to a Field education. For the 2023-24 school year, Field allocated $2.75 million in financial aid to 20% of our students, with an average award of $39,275.
All financial aid is need-based. If you anticipate the need for financial aid you are strongly encouraged to apply for financial aid alongside your application for admission. The Field School has a careful process for allocating its financial aid budget each year and across graduating classes. The School will do its best to offer aid to meet the needs within its budget, but financial assistance is not guaranteed.
The Field School works with several area access organizations for school placement, including the Black Student Fund, Latino Student Fund, The DC Opportunity Scholarship Program, and A Better Chance.
PLEASE NOTE: Our financial aid application is available through Clarity, and is separate from the Ravenna admission application.
Financial Aid FAQs
To get started, please visit the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. You can save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. A fee waiver is automatically applied to families who qualify based on their individual criteria as verified through the Clarity application. Contact Rob Glancy ([email protected]) for any questions related to the financial aid process. February 1, 2025: Financial Aid Applications are due for New Students. Any Financial aid awarded to applicants are included with admission decisions. January 5, 2024: Financial Aid Applications are due for Current Students. Award notifications will be included on re-enrollment contracts when they open at the end of January. If you need support during the process of completing your application, there is in-app support available through the “Help” button in the bottom left of the screen, as well as email and phone support at [email protected] or 206-210-3752 in both English and Spanish. The application itself is also fully translated into Spanish. We expect families who accept a full tuition enrollment contract do so knowing it is a commitment through graduation. At Field, we budget and distribute all available financial aid, by grade level, with a multi-year student enrollment in mind. Should a current Field family experience an unexpected, significant, and documented deterioration in financial circumstances (typically the result of a prolonged unexpected period of unemployment or a medical crisis preventing one or both parents from working) emergency financial aid may be available, but can not be guaranteed.
TUITION INSURANCE
Tuition insurance provides coverage for reimbursing lost costs, including tuition and other eligible expenses. This coverage comes into play when unforeseen emergencies necessitate a student's withdrawal from their academic program before the conclusion of a semester or academic term.
PLEASE NOTE: Tuition insurance is offered through Dewars and is required for any family choosing the two-payment and 10-payment plans. We highly recommend that all families secure tuition insurance.
