| Lesley Ellis School strives
to provide high-quality education that is affordable for all students.
Recognizing that the cost of Lesley Ellis may exceed the financial
capabilities of some families, a small financial assistance fund
is
available each year. Lesley Ellis has a commitment to continue financial
assistance for returning students whose families remain within
the
eligibility guidelines. Lesley Ellis is
a member of the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS),
an organization that assists schools in making equitable awards
to families who demonstrate financial need. The amount of a financial
assistance award is based on a family’s need as determined,
in large part, by SSS, and on the availability of funds at Lesley
Ellis School. The Financial Aid Committee reviews all requests and
supporting documentation. Families who have submitted all forms
by February 15th will be notified in mid-March.
