Tuition & Financial Aid

The Hudson School’s tuition and fees includes all books, supplies, after-school programming, and class trip fees, including overnight trips. (This excludes music lessons, Sailing Club, and specialty trips like international trips)

A $1,000 non-refundable down payment is due by MARCH 7, 2025. The balance of the tuition may be paid according to any one of the following plans:

For new students only:
We require a one-time $2,000 Building Fund fee, due on July 1, 2025.

The Hudson School maintains a need-blind admissions policy, so your application for financial aid will not be a factor in our admissions decisions, which are based on student qualifications only.

Contact Michael Szarek for any questions regarding tuition or payments. 

Financial Aid

The Financial Aid Application for 2025-2026 is open   

The Hudson School offers a financial aid program to provide assistance to families for whom tuition may be a significant burden. Requests for financial assistance do not in any way influence admission decisions which are need-blind.

Financial aid awards are determined by the Financial Aid Committee according to demonstrated need and are not related to the academic abilities of students. Families applying for financial aid are required to make honest financial disclosure to the Financial Aid Committee through FACTS, our financial aid service.

Parents who are divorced, separated, or have never been married are both required to file with FACTS and provide all required supporting tax documents. While families must reapply for aid each year, unless there is a significant change in demonstrated need, we are committed to continuing support at the original level of funding. Due to the complexity of the financial aid formula, we are unable to provide analysis without a full application; however, we encourage all families who believe that they may be eligible to apply. Please do not send any financial documents to THS. All paperwork must be submitted directly to FACTS. All information and awards are held in the strictest confidence by the Committee and it is expected that families will do the same. 

Please reach out to Michael Szarek if you have questions or concerns regarding the Financial Aid process. 

Notification of financial aid awards for timely applications is expected to be delivered by the first week of February 2025, subject to confirmation with 2024 tax returns. Late applications will only be considered if funds are available. Priority will be given to families of current students, after which new families will be considered.

Upon acceptance of the award, parents will be expected to remit a non-refundable deposit of $1,000 to hold a child’s place in the school for the 2025-2026 academic year.

The Financial Aid Application for 2025-2026 is now open
