Applying for Financial Aid
We encourage all families who feel that paying for Dunn would be a financial stretch to apply for aid. Financial aid decisions are made independent of admission decisions, and are based solely upon demonstrated need. If you have any questions about the financial aid application process, please contact our office at (805) 686-0651.
Families who wish to apply for financial aid should mark the appropriate box on the student’s Application for Admission. A packet of information regarding financial aid and the application process will be mailed to applicant families in early November and thereafter as requested. Because funds are limited, please note that priority is given to those families that meet all deadlines.
Statement of Financial Aid Philosophy
Dunn School is committed to providing a quality education to qualified students who for financial reasons would otherwise be unable to attend the school. Dunn’s financial aid program is designed to bridge the gap between what a family can contribute and what it actually costs to attend the school. Dunn School offers financial aid on the basis of documented financial need of the family and the availability of funds.
