For current Gulliver students, financial aid application packages can be requested from the financial aid office in January.

For new students, financial aid may be requested upon acceptance into Gulliver.

The financial aid process concludes on May 1. Families are encouraged to submit their application to FACTS and the school as early as possible since financial aid budgeted dollars are limited and will be awarded on a first come first served basis. Students currently receiving financial aid will be sent an application package automatically. New students’ families should complete admissions and financial aid applications simultaneously. Financial aid applications will be considered only after a new student has been accepted and enrolled. Acceptance into Gulliver does not guarantee financial aid. Applications from current Gulliver families will be considered before any new family applications are reviewed.

Detailed instructions are provided inside the Financial Aid Package.

Financial Aid is awarded based upon need, and is not guaranteed to any student. Financial Aid is determined by the Financial Aid Committee using all information submitted, as well as the recommendation from FACTS Management Company. Income is not the only criteria used for determining a student’s financial need. Other factors such as total assets and lifestyle choices will be considered in assessing financial resources available for tuition.

Families will be notified by mail of the decision reached by the Finance Aid Committee in approximately three weeks from the time all required information is received in our office.

Unless there are legitimate reasons why a spouse is not employed, such a decision is considered a lifestyle choice and will be a factor in determining financial need.

Financial information is required for both biological parents. The existence of a legal determination excusing one parent from financial contributions towards a child’s education will not be considered. We believe that it is the obligation of both parents to contribute towards a child’s educational expenses.

In the case where either parent has remarried, the income and assets of the stepparent will also be considered.

In an effort to assist as many families as possible, financial aid can only be awarded to one child per family.

Financial Aid awards are given on an annual basis. Families must apply each year to continue receiving an award. Generally, if a family’s financial situation has not changed from the previous year and the student is in compliance with the GPA requirements and conduct guidelines, a similar award may be extended.

The admissions and financial aid processes are independent from each other. Acceptance into the School does not guarantee financial aid.
