Costs and Financial Aid
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:
“When over Catholics the ocean rolls,
They must wait several weeks before a mass
Takes off one peck of purgatorial coals,
Because, till people know what’s come to pass,
They won’t lay out their money on the dead—
It costs three francs for every mass that’s said.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“For the merchant, even honesty is a financial speculation.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Technological innovation has done great damage ... to eating habits. Food is now available in such unpleasant forms that one frequently finds smoking between courses to be an aid to digestion.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
