Financial Aid

In line with our mission “to create an academic community devoted to educational excellence, with a personal touch, that fulfills each student’s potential,” we are committed to building a diverse community of scholars, global citizens, and impact makers from a wide range of backgrounds, independent of financial circumstances. Our need-based financial aid program enables us to fulfill this commitment, ensuring curious, motivated, and successful students have the opportunity to attend Gulliver.

Financial Aid Applications

Financial aid applications for the 2025-26 School Year will be available beginning September 1, 2024.

  • Gulliver distributes financial aid according to demonstrated need. Families wishing to apply for financial aid will need to provide comprehensive family and household income information to be considered.
  • When evaluating your application for financial aid, we take into account a variety of factors, including household income, expenses, assets, family size, the number of dependents attending college, medical and elder care expenses, and other financial circumstances that families may encounter. While our starting point is a standard formula, our goal is to get to know your family as individuals so we can best determine your financial need.
  • Gulliver partners with Clarity to evaluate all financial aid applications. The Financial Aid Committee determines awards based on recommendations from Clarity along with all other information submitted.
  • Priority will be given to current Gulliver families applying for financial aid. Returning students must be re-enrolled for financial aid consideration. Applications for returning families must be completed by November 1, 2024 in order to receive priority.
  • New families should complete their admission and financial aid applications simultaneously.
  • New students whose financial aid application has been completed by January 17, 2025, will be notified of their award in the acceptance letter.

Both parents must complete a financial aid application. In cases of divorce/separation, each parent/household must complete a financial aid application and submit all required documents. The Financial Aid Committee will consider the resources of both households. If the parent resides in a dual-income household, both members of the household must apply to be considered for financial aid. The committee will evaluate the resources of all household members. The most recent U.S. tax returns for all relevant household members must be provided for financial aid consideration.

To maintain our independence, Gulliver Prep does not accept any state or federal funds, financial assistance or scholarship programs.

How are awards determined?

Financial aid is awarded based upon need and available financial aid funds, and is not guaranteed to any student. The Financial Aid Committee makes the award determination by using all information submitted, as well as the recommendation from Clarity. 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.

What does financial aid cover?

Tuition covers the cost of textbooks, curricular resources, lunch, local field trips, club dues and activities.

Must both parents work to receive financial aid?

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.

What information is required if I am divorced or separated?

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 to a child’s educational expenses.

Both parents must complete a financial aid application. In cases of divorce/separation, each parent/household must complete a financial aid application and submit all required documents. The Financial Aid Committee will consider the resources of both households. If the parent resides in a dual-income household, both members of the household must apply to be considered for financial aid. The committee will evaluate the resources of all household members. The most recent U.S. tax returns for all relevant household members must be provided for financial aid consideration.

If I am awarded financial aid this year, will I also receive it in future years?

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.

Can my child lose the financial aid award?

While awards are need-based and not performance-based, each student given a financial aid award is expected to maintain a certain GPA and remain in compliance with the student code of conduct. Students who fall short in these areas may lose their financial aid. Awards will be jeopardized if a family fails to pay the portion of the tuition for which it is responsible.

My child was accepted into Gulliver, can I expect to receive financial aid?

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

I did not receive the award requested. May I appeal the amount awarded?

Due to the large number of financial aid applications, the Financial Aid Committee can only review files once. Please do not appeal the award decision unless you can document that an error was made in the information provided.
