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:
“That which costs little is less valued.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
“In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.”
—New Yorker (April 23, 1990)
“Look for me all around you, for with God’s grace, I shall come and bring with me countless millions of Black slaves who have died in America and the West Indies and the millions in Africa to aid you in the fight for Liberty, Freedom and Life.”
—Marcus Garvey (1887–1940)
