Tuition and room and board for 2012-2013 were $46,900. Day student tuition was $22,600. A student expense account is required in the amount of $1500 ($1000 for day students). Learning Center tutorials and the ESL Program have additional fees. Approximately 50 percent of the students receive financial aid. Eligibility is based on need as established by School and Student Services (SSS). Academic achievement, citizenship, and future promise are also taken into consideration when awards are made.
The White Mountain School offers two new scholarship opportunities. The E.E. Ford Sustainability Scholarship ($15,000 for boarding students and $7,500 for day students) is for students with an active interest in sustainability and the environment. The North Country Scholarship ($10,000) is awarded to day students who have achieved high honors and who have been actively involved in their current school and/or community.

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)
“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)
“There aren’t any good, brave causes left. If the big bang does come, and we all get killed off, it won’t be in aid of the old-fashioned grand design. It’ll just be for the Brave New-nothing-very-much-thank-you. About as pointless and inglorious as stepping in front of a bus. No, there’s nothing left for it, me boy, but to let yourself be butchered by the women.”
—John Osborne (1929–1994)
