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:
“It is commonly said by farmers, that a good pear or apple costs no more time or pains to rear, than a poor one; so I would have no work of art, no speech, or action, or thought, or friend, but the best.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What people don’t realize is that intimacy has its conventions as well as ordinary social intercourse. There are three cardinal rules—don’t take somebody else’s boyfriend unless you’ve been specifically invited to do so, don’t take a drink without being asked, and keep a scrupulous accounting in financial matters.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“Without the aid of prejudice and custom, I should not be able to find my way across the room.”
