Costs and Financial Aid
Tuition for the 2012-13 school year at Kimball Union was $47,830 for boarding students and $29,995 for day, commuting, students. For residents, the fee includes room, board, use of all facilities, and admission to some plays, lectures, and concerts held on campus. Charges beyond the basic fee include those for books, athletics store purchases, some arts events and transportation. An initial deposit of 10 percent of tuition is requested upon confirmation of enrollment, with the balance due on August 1 and January 1. Loan plans and tuition-refund insurance are available.
Kimball Union accepts students without regard to their ability to pay and then attempts to present the family with a financial aid package to make attendance possible. Kimball Union awards financial aid based strictly on financial need as determined by the School and Student Service for Financial Aid of Princeton, New Jersey.

Famous quotes containing the words costs, financial and/or aid:
“To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled—because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Because of these convictions, I made a personal decision in the 1964 Presidential campaign to make education a fundamental issue and to put it high on the nation’s agenda. I proposed to act on my belief that regardless of a family’s financial condition, education should be available to every child in the United States—as much education as he could absorb.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Under the pressure of the cares and sorrows of our mortal condition, men have at all times, and in all countries, called in some physical aid to their moral consolations—wine, beer, opium, brandy, or tobacco.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
