The Knox School Financial Aid assessment process ensures that available funds are best used to promote the school’s objectives and mission. Knox is proud to offer need-based financial aid to those students with a demonstrated financial need.
When considering an independent education for their child, families should expect to contribute to the cost of tuition at the highest possible level based on their current economic situation. Knox offers need-based financial aid, which is determined by a family’s demonstrated need and the merit of the applicant, which is determined by the Knox Admissions Committee. To fairly and objectively determine a family’s demonstrated need and make financial aid decisions, Knox has partnered with Clarity, a third party financial aid assessment organization.
Financial Aid Determination
The Knox Financial Aid Committee uses the Clarity Application to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts.
The Financial Aid Process
Step One
To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account.
The application is mobile-friendly and typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time.

Step Two
After you complete and submit your Clarity application, please remember to return to your dashboard and check for any additional documentation that may be required for The Knox School.
