Affording BWS
Brentwood School is committed to making an exceptional education accessible to talented students throughout the Los Angeles area.
We recognize that a Brentwood School education is a major investment and can be a challenge for many families. We remain firmly dedicated to helping families afford this educational choice and annually award approximately $10 million in financial support to students with a demonstrated financial need. With financial support, many families discover that a Brentwood School education is within their reach.
Financial Support
Financial support at Brentwood School is awarded based on a family's need. As such, a family's application for financial support will have no bearing on a student's admission application. In addition, once enrolled, a student's financial support award is not predicated on their academic performance or participation in extracurricular activities (i.e. athletics, arts, etc.) in the school. Awards remain solely need-based.
