An investment in your child’s future. A return that lasts a lifetime.

When you invest in StM, you’re not just paying for a seat in a classroom — you’re shaping a future. Here, tuition goes beyond books and buildings. It funds transformational experiences, relationships, and opportunities that stay with your child long after graduation. It helps your child become:

  • Well-rounded and resilient, grounded in values and character
  • Curious and courageous, driven by a love of learning
  • Creative and confident, discovering passions across academics, arts, and athletics
  • Organized and adaptable, learning how to manage time, priorities, and passions
  • Compassionate and community-minded, eager to serve and lead
  • Fulfilled and future-ready, equipped to thrive in college — and in life

That’s the real value of a St. Martin’s education. Because we’re not just preparing students for college — we’re preparing them for lives of lives of purpose, resilience, leadership, and joy.

Tuition Assistance

While the cost of a St. Martin’s education is a significant financial commitment, we believe the value of the development of a lifelong love of learning, strong moral and ethical values, and well-rounded foundation is greater and lasts a lifetime. The School offers financial assistance to those who demonstrate financial need for the grades Pre-K through 12 (financial aid is not available for George Cottage). 

The admissions process is separate from the financial aid process, and does not affect a student’s chances for admission. Families who are interested in tuition assistance should apply for aid at the same time that they apply for admission.

The school utilizes the services of the tuition assistance application system Clarity to initially review all tuition assistance applications to verify all information submitted and to provide the School’s Tuition Assistance Committee with an initial analysis of the application and a suggested award amount.

St. Martin's is committed to enrolling students without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin, or disability. The school does not discriminate in the administration of educational policies, financial aid programs, athletic programs, or any other school-administered programs.

The St. Martin’s Tuition Assistance Committee then reviews the family’s application and supporting documentation (tax documents and any new financial developments affecting your family) and the suggested award to determine the tuition assistance award for the coming year. All applications and information are held in the strictest confidence. Funds are awarded on a first-come-first-served basis; therefore, it is important to apply for financial aid promptly.

St. Martin’s takes the privacy and security of your personal information very seriously. Clarity is certified for both GDPR and SOC2 and uses enterprise-level security standards including end-to-end encryption of all personally identifiable information. For more information, please refer to Clarity’s Privacy Policy.

What happens if I do not provide all of the requested information?
Failure to provide all of the necessary information needed to complete the application does not allow for proper review and is considered incomplete.  Incomplete applications are not reviewed for aid. 
How will this impact my award?

Will I still need to apply every year?

Yes, you will need to submit a Clarity application each year in order to qualify for financial aid; however, Clarity retains your information from previous applications, so it will be even easier to reapply.
