Tuition & Financial Aid

At GFS, we assist families in bridging individual affordability gaps that may exist with the cost of tuition. Our robust, need-based financial aid program supports tuition costs and activity fees for students in PreK through twelfth grade.

GFS also offers non-tuition financial aid (NTFA) to give students a full experience inside and outside the classrooms. This includes additional school-related expenses like lunch, transportation, books, after-school programming, private music lessons, tutoring, Middle and Upper School trips abroad, and more. We provide NTFA to as many families as possible. Families apply by completing the Non-Tuition Financial Aid Application form as non-tuition expenses arise.

We’re here to help you navigate the financial aid
process every step of the way!

Please reach out to Chris Breña, our Director of Financial Aid, with any questions: cbrena@germantownfriends.org.

Important Dates
GFS awards nearly $9.95 million dollars of financial aid to students in PreK through Grade 12. Financial aid award letters for new and current families will be posted to the portal after January 27, 2025.

Acceptance of the award is indicated by return of the signed enrollment agreement(s) and submission of non-refundable deposit(s) by February 3, 2025, for current families (including those with a newly-accepted sibling); and by February 21, 2025, for new families.

After the December Financial Aid Application deadline and the distribution of financial aid awards, all new applications for financial aid will most likely be placed on our waitlist and awards will be made as funds become available.
